The U.S. Testing Expertise and Access to Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program has approved funding totaling nearly $1.3 million for ten projects under its eleventh Request for Technical Support (RFTS). According to TEAMER, these projects, designated as Technical Support Recipients (TSRs), will ha
Minesto has carried out the Launch and Recovery System (LARS) method for the 1.2 MW, 25-ton Dragon 12 tidal energy kite in Vestmannsund, Faroe Islands. According to Minesto, the operations developed for Dragon 4, which has a capacity of 100 kW and weighs 2.5 tons, were equally effective with the meg
Inyanga Marine Energy Group has opened a new office in Wales to support the development of the 10 MW HydroWing tidal stream energy project at Morlais, Anglesey. The HydroWing project secured a contract in the latest Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction round in the UK held back in September 2023.
Minesto has completed the Dragon 12 offshore infrastructure in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands, marking readiness for power production with the achieved connection of the export cable to the foundation. According to Minesto, completion of infrastructure subsea included re-locating the pre-installed jun
Tidal energy has the potential to provide 11.5 GW to the UK energy system, 11% of the UK’s electricity demand, and tidal stream projects could contribute up to £17 billion to the UK economy by 2050, according to Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and Imperial College London (ICL). In 2022, ORE
Swedish-Israeli wave energy developer Eco Wave Power has commenced sending clean electricity from its EWP-EDF One project to the Israeli National Electrical grid. Eco Wave Power has recently finalized the construction of the EWP-EDF One project in the Port of Jaffa which has a 100 KW installed capac
The European Union has awarded a €4 million grant to a project aimed at harnessing the untapped potential of wave energy. The SHY Project (Seawater HYdraulic PTO using dynamic passive controller for wave energy converters), a collaborative initiative dedicated to advancing wave energy, received the
Leask Marine has installed the first offshore grouted pile with its Raptor Submersible Drilling Rig (SDR) technology in the Faroe Islands, for a Swedish tidal developer. This marks the final commercialization phase of the Raptor SDR, from concept, design, manufacturing, and full testing program comp
Carnegie Clean Energy is carrying out final preparations for the deployment of the MoorPower demonstration project, whose aim is to introduce a CETO-derived wave energy product for the aquaculture sector.
