Tidal power group Atlantis Resources Ltd’s (LON:ARL) AR1500 turbine in the Pentland Firth is to undergo a full system inspection after an unplanned grid outage.
Atlantis said the outage was caused by a third party and unrelated to the turbine itself, but triggered an automated shutdown.
Prior to that, the turbine had been running autonomously at full output.

Atlantis said the AR1500 will be retrieved at the next opportunity for a full systems inspection before undergoing the contractual performance testing regime.
The AR1500 is one of four turbines currently operating at Meygen.
The three others, supplied by AHH, are currently undergoing inspection and upgrades prior to planned redeployment in May.
