In October 2022, '''Proteus Marine Renewables''' (PMR) was formed through a [[management buyout]] of the Advanced Tidal Engineering and Services division of SIMEC Atlantis Energy, now [[SAE Renewables]]. SAE remain a minority shareholder in Proteus, and Proteus will continue to support the [[MeyGen]] tidal farm.<ref name=":40">{{Cite web |last=Garanovic |first=Amir |date=2022-10-21 |title=SIMEC Atlantis management buyout creates Proteus Marine Renewables tidal outfit |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/simec-atlantis-management-buyout-creates-proteus-marine-renewables-tidal-outfit/ |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref> The company is based at Bath & Bristol Science Park, [[Bristol]], England.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Affordable renewable energy |url=https://proteusmr.com/ |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=proteusmr.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
Proteus is a majority shareholder in {{Lang|fr|Normandie Hydroliennes}}'','' which is planning to deploy a 12 MW pilot tidal farm at [[Raz Blanchard]] in 2025. The NH1 project will consist of four PMR AR3000 turbines, each rated at 3 MW.<ref name=":40" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Maksumic |first=Zerina |date=2024-10-04 |title=Proteus Marine Rewables' tidal energy system on track to slash costs, EIB confirms |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/proteus-marine-rewables-tidal-energy-system-on-track-to-slash-costs-eib-confirms/ |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref>
In August 2024, PMR started building an AR1100 turbine to be deployed in the Naru Strait to power the [[Gotō Islands]] in Japan. This is an upgrade of the AR500 turbine with added pitch and yaw mechanisms, and uprated to 1.1 MW.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maksumic |first=Zerina |date=2024-08-01 |title=Proteus Marine Renewables starts assembling upgraded tidal turbine in Japan (Gallery) |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/proteus-marine-renewables-starts-assembling-upgraded-tidal-turbine-in-japan-gallery/ |access-date=2024-10-12 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref> The AR500 was previously tested in the Naru Strait from February 2021 to December 2023.<ref name=":15" /><ref name=":41" />
