HydroQuest, a subsidiary of CMN NAVAL, stands at the forefront of Tidal Stream Energy innovation. As a world leader in harnessing ocean currents to produce clean, predictable, and renewable electricity, HydroQuest combines industrial expertise with environmental responsibility. Its technology contributes to the global transition toward sustainable energy while promoting energy independence through marine-based solutions.
Tidal stream energy offers one of the most reliable and predictable renewable resources on Earth. Unlike wind or solar, tides follow natural lunar cycles, ensuring constant and forecastable energy generation. Harnessing this potential positions HydroQuest as a key player in the energy transition toward stable, zero-emission power.
HydroQuest designs, develops, and operates tidal turbines that convert ocean currents into reliable renewable energy. Built by Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN), these turbines embody the strength of the Group’s integrated industrial ecosystem.
This synergy reflects CMN NAVAL’s unique position at the crossroads of naval engineering and sustainable energy technology.
