MCT (Marine Current Turbines)

Marine Current Turbines (MCTs) are devices that generate electricity by harnessing the steady flow of ocean currents, similar to underwater wind turbines. Installed underwater in strategic locations with strong, consistent currents, they have blades that rotate as water passes through. This rotational energy is converted into electrical power via connected generators. MCTs offer a reliable and environmentally friendly renewable energy source, capitalizing on predictable marine flows to produce electricity with minimal visual or noise impact. They play a significant role in diversifying renewable energy portfolios and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
