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.
Tidal Lagoon Power has agreed the grid connection deal with National Grid for the proposed 3.2GW Cardiff tidal lagoon project in the Severn Estuary.
Tidal Energy Today has compiled the top news from tidal and wave energy industry from September 4 – 10, 2017.
The leader of the Seacams 2 project, Bangor University, has hired Nortek for the supply of three bottom mount acoustic instrument packages for use around the coast of North Wales.
Minesto has added four new electrical and mechanical engineers to its Holyhead office over the summer to support its tidal energy operations.
Ocean Energy Europe is looking to appoint a new Policy Director who would be in charge of promoting the next generation of ocean renewable energy technologies.
His Majesty, King Harald V of Norway, will attend the inauguration of Waves4Power’s wave power system which has been supplying electricity to the Norwegian power grid for almost three months.
Renewables certification body DNV GL has opened the control hardware in loop (CHIL) test facility for renewable energy generation plants.
UK and Chinese researchers are set to collaborate on five projects to develop the next generation offshore renewable energy (ORE) technologies.
Seventeen innovators in the Dutch water sector have made it to the final round and will pitch their ideas at the Making Waves event being held today at Afsluitdijk storm barrier in the Netherlands.
Researchers from Swansea University are teaming up with local fishermen and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) to assess possible effects on marine environment from proposed tidal energy development off North Wales.
