Tide Mills UK & Africa (TiMUKA)

Stage: Round 4

The TiMUKA (Tide Mills UK & Africa) project seeks to revitalize the UK’s historical tide mills, originally numbering over 200. These mills, employing water mills driven by tidal forces, trace their roots back to 60 AD on the Thames. The initiative aims to restore these mills in the UK using advanced technologies and civil engineering methods, with an eye towards implementing similar systems in developing nations, beginning with Sub-Saharan Africa. Led by Tide Mills Limited, supported by Mojo Maritime, the project leverages groundbreaking work from leading UK tidal energy experts. Its ambitious agenda is to swiftly deliver clean, renewable, and predictable tidal energy on a community scale, commencing in the UK and Africa before expanding globally.
