A company leading a plan to use tidal energy to power a computer data centre in the far north of Scotland has said it remained committed to the project. Atlantis Resources Corporation did not apply for the first round of leases for renewable energy sites in the Pentland Firth that were granted last week. But chief executive Timothy Cornelius said the company proposed bidding when other locations were made available.
Two years of planning have gone into the data facility and tidal scheme. The Crown Estate leased 10 sites on the seabed around Orkney and the Pentland Firth to seven companies last week. Atlantis Resources's proposal is for a computer data centre in Caithness providing services for a number of companies and powered by tidal energy rather than depend on electricity supplied to the National Grid.
