iconsys selected for groundbreaking UK tidal energy project

iconsys has been awarded a key contract to deliver automation and electrical systems for a major UK tidal energy development, a ground-breaking 20 MW array that will be deployed off the coast of Wales.

As one of the most significant tidal energy projects in Europe, this milestone reinforces the UK’s ambition to lead the way in clean, reliable marine power generation.

The project involves the development of a highly innovative tidal energy device that will harness predictable, renewable energy from strong tidal flows, providing a consistent and scalable source of low-carbon electricity to the grid.

iconsys will provide a core element of the technology required to bring this system to life — delivering our engineering expertise to help ensure performance, safety, and long-term reliability in one of the most challenging environments on Earth.

With installation targeted for 2026, this prototype forms a crucial part of a long-term vision: demonstrating that tidal energy can contribute meaningfully to the UK’s net zero goals while enabling economic growth through industrial innovation and clean energy job creation.

This win further strengthens our growing presence in the marine, ports, and offshore renewables sectors and reflects our strategic focus on enabling the energy transition through advanced industrial automation and control.
