Ocean Energy Europe (OEE) has called for the establishment of a mechanism that would deliver the same cost-reduction results for tidal energy as those achieved in offshore wind industry.
The Edinburgh-based tidal energy developer said the significant cost reduction was not sufficient to allow the project to secure a CfD as it was competing with established technologies such as offshore wind.
Atlantis’s tidal stream project in northern Scotland, MeyGen, was not awarded a contract for difference (CfD) from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in this allocation round in respect of Phase 1C of the project. According to Atlantis, cost reduction for the Phase 1C a
