'''SIMEC Atlantis Energy Ltd''' (SAE) is a renewable energy company which is developing the [[MeyGen]] tidal array in the [[Pentland Firth]] between the Scottish mainland and Orkney. Since 2017, this has operated with 4× 1.5&nbsp;MW tidal turbines, making it the largest tidal-stream array worldwide. The next phases could see a further 50&nbsp;MW installed by 2028.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MeyGen |url=http://saerenewables.com/tidal-stream/meygen/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=SAE Renewables |language=en-GB}}</ref> The company was founded as '''Atlantis Resources''', and developed the 1.5&nbsp;MW AR1500 turbine, a three-bladed horizontal-axis seabed mounded device.

The company was founded as '''Atlantis Resources''', and developed the 1.5&nbsp;MW AR1500 turbine, a three-bladed horizontal-axis seabed mounded device, three of which are installed at [[MeyGen]]. They also built a smaller 500&nbsp;kW AR500 turbine in Scotland, which was shipped to [[Japan]] and installed off [[Naru Island (Japan)|Naru Island]], part of the [[Gotō Islands]]. It reportedly generated 10&nbsp;MWh in the first 10 days of operation in early 2021.<ref name=":15">{{Cite web |last=Frangoul |first=Anmar |date=2021-02-15 |title=A tidal turbine built in Scotland is now producing power in Japan |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/15/a-tidal-turbine-built-in-scotland-is-now-producing-power-in-japan.html |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref>
