Natural Currents’s low vertical water design differs from other tidal turbine systems in the market today since they can operate in relatively shallow depths (less than 5 meters) whereas most other units are designed to operate in depths greater then 40 feet. This is a critical differentiating factor that separates Natural Currents from many of the other designs in the market.

The unique design affords for a lower cost solution since it’s closer to the grid connection, but also provides one of the only renewable energy solutions that in many geographic locations can offer base load renewable energy. Additionally, the ability to deploy the systems in shallower water meaningfully expands the addressable market opportunity beyond a traditional power source to grid connection; it opens the door to many unique commercial off the grid applications.
