@web.feed: Japan has deployed its first megawatt scale underwater turbine, marking a breakthrough in renewable energy. According to Marine Technology News, the AR1100 turbine was installed in the Naru Strait near the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture in early 2025. With a capacity of 1.1 megawatts, it is the largest tidal energy project in the country so far. The AR1100 is now connected to the local grid and is supplying clean electricity to the Goto Islands. This deployment shows how Japan is diversifying its renewable energy mix and investing in innovative solutions to meet its climate goals, with ocean currents now powering homes and communities. #webfeed
