The Marine Energy Taskforce (MET), a 12-month initiative commissioned by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), has entered its second phase following a meeting in Cardiff.

Launched in June by UK Energy Minister Michael Shanks, the MET is tasked with developing recommendations and a roadmap to unlock the UK’s tidal stream and wave energy potential. According to the UK Marine Energy Council (MEC), the group is examining opportunities and barriers to scaling the sector while aiming to retain high levels of UK supply chain content in domestic and international projects.
