ATLANTIS Resources, the Singapore-based tidal energy firm behind the Meygen project in Scotland, has made its first profit.
The company posted a S$4.3million (£2m) profit on revenue of S$2.9 billion (£1.44bn), which was down from S$5.3bn.
"2015 has been a year of amazing progress for Atlantis culminating in the Company's maiden profit," said chief executive Tim Cornelius. "I am pleased that we have been able to make great strides in furthering the development of the tidal stream industry in the UK and beyond.”
Mr Cornelius said the company remained on track to deliver Phase 1A of the Meygen project for installation in 2016. “And we have managed to consolidate the industry in the UK via two well-timed, strategic acquisitions from Siemens and ScottishPower Renewables,” he added.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
