'''Sabella SA''' is a French [[Small and medium-sized enterprises|SME]] based in [[Quimper]], Brittany that has been developing tidal turbines since 2008, however the company was placed into receivership in October 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Who we are? |url=https://www.sabella.bzh/en/home/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Sabella |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Garanovic |first=Amir |date=2023-10-23 |title=Sabella goes into receivership |url=https://www.offshore-energy.biz/sabella-placed-in-receivership/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Offshore Energy |language=en-US}}</ref> The company had developed two main variants of their technology.
The '''D03''' was a 30 kW horizontal-axis turbine, with a six-bladed rotor 3 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 tonnes, and sat on a gravity base in around 25 m deep water.

Their first platform, '''PLAT-O''', was a submerged mid-water-column device, with two 50 kW [[Schottel (company)|Schottel]] SIT turbines, mounted between three buoyant hulls. It was initially tested in [[The Solent]], before being tested at [[European Marine Energy Centre|EMEC]] in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 June 2016 |title=SME wets Plato head |url=https://renews.biz/42313/sme-wets-plato-head/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=ReNEWS.biz}}</ref>
