Verdant Energy has been using the New York’s East river to test their design since 2012 with multiple iterations. They’ve demonstrated a triangular configuration with 100kwh production tested. They predict the configuration can do 1,050kwh. Not sure how many they would install, but the East river has a very strong tidal current. The original test turbines were damaged by the current. The gen5 were undamaged.
