A new report by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult has shown how local tidal energy projects can help Scottish costal communities in the move to net zero.
Industry group Marine Energy Council (MEC) announced 13 new Lead Partners to support its ambition to make the UK "the world leader in tidal stream and wave energy."
According to a State of the Sector Report released today (27 June) the marine energy sector in Wales has received a “record-breaking” £103.4 million in investments and spending last year.
A £8.8 million (€10 million) project funded by the European Union and UK Research and Innovation was launched yesterday (17 January) to maximise tidal energy generation by developing the “world’s largest tidal turbine blades”.
The Scottish Affairs Committee has called on Ofgem to change how transmission charges are distributed, to help strengthen the Scottish renewables sector.
