Two consortia have secured just under £1 million funding from Wave Energy Scotland (WES) to demonstrate the potential of new applications of materials to bring down the cost of wave power. Consultant engineers Arup will lead a consortium which aims to show that pre-cast reinforced concrete can be in
Malin Renewables has recently received the steel to kick off the fabrication works for AWS Ocean Energy’s Archimedes Waveswing wave power generation device. In February this year, Malin Renewables secured a £1-million contract from AWS to supply a fifty-tonne wave energy converter. Malin will build

SIMEC Atlantis Energy has been awarded a £1.5-million grant from the Scottish Government’s Saltire Tidal Energy Challenge Fund to develop a subsea tidal turbine connection hub for the next phase of development of the MeyGen tidal power array. The Saltire Tidal Energy Fund is a £10-million fund suppo
Europe still leads the world in tidal energy installations, and European tidal stream projects generated 50 per cent more electricity in 2019 than the year before, according to statistics released by Ocean Energy Europe (OEE). European tidal stream capacity continued to climb in 2019, reaching 27.7
Fife fabricators AJS Production has kicked off work on Mocean Energy’s Blue Star wave energy prototype, which is scheduled to be deployed in Orkney this autumn. The 20-metre-long device will undergo a number of sea trials before generating its first power. AJS managing director Raymond Imrie, said:
The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney recently became a supporting member of the Australian Ocean Energy Group (AOEG). UNSW’s involvement in this initiative was led by Dr François Flocard, Principal Engineer at the Water Research Laboratory of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineer
