Innovators are being sought to identify how marine geospatial data can be used to find suitable sites for offshore wind, tidal and wave energy infrastructure projects

A new study projects electricity demand in Faroe Islands will reach 600GW by 2030, allowing tidal energy to play a bigger role in its power generation

The 500kW project has been developed by Scottish firm Simec Atlantis Energy and boasts a rotor diameter of 18 metres

The PPA with utility SEV covers the planned installations of two 100kW ‘subsea kite’ systems and an additional 2MW capacity allocated for future installations

Ocean Energy’s 500kW wave power generator is as tall as a three-storey building and more than 35 metres long

The tidal energy developer raised £700,000, significantly more than its goal of £500,000

UK-based offshore energy specialist Simply Blue Energy and Swedish wave energy developer CorPower Ocean claim they may have a solution

The firm has received approval for a grant to help it deploy its technology at the grid-connected Paimpol-Bréhat test site

He promised to continue to press the UK Government to commit to a fairer system that offers early stage technologies a better chance of securing investment

We thought it would be interesting to show what the turbine actually looks like – let us know what you think!
