Clean Growth
Job Creation
The manufacturing process alone of each Orbital turbine is estimated to require over 50FTE skilled jobs in the UK. By building projects with multiple machines, the jobs created will be multiplied, resulting in a meaningful industry, even at small unit volumes.
Operating Orbital tidal projects will also require locally based skilled service personnel, creating long-term valuable jobs in coastal communities.
We aim to invest in and build an industry that not only delivers predictable green power but provides UK jobs and grows UK exports.
