The '''D03''' was a 30&nbsp;kW horizontal-axis turbine, with a six-bladed rotor 3&nbsp;m in diameter, hence the name.<ref>{{Cite web |title=D03 |url=https://www.sabella.bzh/en/our-projects/d03/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Sabella |language=en-GB}}</ref> It was tested in the [[Odet]] estuary in 2008, but not grid connected. The turbine weighed 7&nbsp;tonnes, and sat on a gravity base in around 25&nbsp;m deep water.
 
The larger 1&nbsp;MW '''D10''' turbine was then developed, and tested in the [[Fromveur Passage]], Brittany from June 2015. After hackers interrupted the communications link with the turbine, it began supplying power to the grid in [[Ushant]] on 5 November 2015.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Poindexter |first=Gregory |date=2016-03-23 |title=Hackers rendered 1-MW Sabella D10 tidal turbine inoperable in France |url=https://www.hydroreview.com/business-finance/hackers-rendered-1-mw-sabella-d10-tidal-turbine-inoperable-in-france/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Hydro Review |language=en-US}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite web |date=12 April 2019 |title=Sabella tidal device undergoes maintenance |url=https://renews.biz/52642/sabella-tidal-device-undergoes-maintenance/ |website=ReNEWS.biz}}</ref> It was redeployed for a third test campaign in April 2022,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Garanovic |first=Amir |date=2022-05-04 |title=Sabella reinstalls D10 tidal turbine for third test campaign offshore France |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/sabella-reinstalls-d10-tidal-turbine-for-third-test-campaign-offshore-france/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref> In October 2024, Inyanga Marine Energy took over the D10 turbine operation, securing permission to operate it until August 2028.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maksumic |first=Zerina |date=2024-10-16 |title=Inyanga Marine Energy takes charge of France’sFrance's first grid-connected tidal turbine |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/inyanga-marine-energy-takes-charge-of-frances-first-grid-connected-tidal-turbine/ |access-date=2024-10-19 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref>
