The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has completed an independent power performance assessment for Verdant Power’s tidal power array at the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) site in New York. The report confirms active power output was 187 kW at 2.5 m/s peak flood tide and turbines performed
The UK government is planning to open the fourth round of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme for renewable energy projects in December 2021. The fourth CfD round aims to increase the capacity of renewable energy from the 5.8 GW achieved in the last round to 12 GW, with three pots established
NASA and Lockheed Martin are using the Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim) to ensure a safe landing of the Orion crew module, set to launch into space this year, in the Pacific Ocean. Heavy-lift launch vehicle Space Launch System and the Orion crew module will carry out their maiden flights in
