Marine energy is key for Scotland

More than 12,000 jobs in marine renewables could contribute £2.5bn to Scotland’s economy by 2020, according to a report published today. The industry-led Marine Energy Group study charts a course for wave and tidal power around Scotland, and highlights actions to build further success in the sector. The group has called on the Scottish government to repeat its Wave and Tidal Energy Support scheme and has asked for a review of grid infrastructure required to support growth.
