Ocean Energy Europe said today that the United Kingdom can champion European re-industrialisation and world-leading innovation by supporting the creation of a new tidal lagoon industry. Immediate support for early projects will bring forward large, low-cost projects which will significantly benefit
Marine Renewables Industry Association (MRIA), which represents Ireland’s tidal and wave energy sectors, has published a set of recommendations to address funding obstacles encountered by Irish pre-commercial wave and tidal developers.
The report offers an in-depth analysis of the European renewable energy industy covering renewable energy markets of 27 European countries. The report ‘Analyzing the European Renewable Energy Industry 2016’ starts off with a basic overview of the global energy industry with the research focused on t
Following the completion of tests on the EOLOS FLS200 metocean buoy, RWE Innogy has ended its research series into four floating measuring platforms which have all fulfilled the availability and measuring accuracy requirements specified by the Carbon Trust as conditions for the stage of pre-commerci
The Marine Renewables Business Park (MRBP) in Hayle, created to strengthen Cornwall’s growing marine renewables sector, will be officially opened tomorrow, February 12, 2016. MRBP offers 2,500 sq metres of managed workspace including a two storey modern office building comprising seven offices desig
The UK’s trade body for wind, wave and tidal energy, Renewable UK, has issued a response to the announced review of the feasibility and practicality of tidal lagoon energy in the UK. The UK government has commissioned a review of the technology to improve the understanding of how tidal lagoons could
Australian wave energy developer Carnegie Wave Energy has started its Mauritius wave and microgrid design project. The project, which will be delivered on Mauritius and the neighboring island of Rodrigues, will see Carnegie receive Au$800,000 (∼$560,000) grant through a partnership between the Austr
Wave Energy Scotland (WES) has awarded £250,000 to industry partners for three landscaping studies in wave energy materials, structural forces and technology transfer. Arup’s team will lead the delivery of the research into structural forces and stresses, and the Institute for Materials and Processe
GE Power Conversion has manufactured the first serial Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) at GE Renewable’s offshore wind factory in Saint-Nazaire, which is to be installed in the company’s Haliade 150-6MW offshore wind turbine in Denmark. The 6-MW PMG is one of the world’s largest generators ever buil
Polish lifting equipment manufacturer Protea has launched a new service crane for the offshore wind industry. The new crane is designed for light lifting and handling operations on unmanned platforms, according to Protea. The crane’s design combines extra high grade steel to increase strength whilst
Following the UK government’s announcement of tidal lagoons review, Tidal Lagoon Power welcomed the news, but also called for immediate start of works on the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon, if tidal lagoon power at scale is to be a real option for the long term.
The UK government has announced an independent review into the feasibility and practicality of tidal lagoon energy in the UK. Whilst progress has been made to understand the technology behind tidal lagoons, which have the potential to provide the UK with clean and secure energy, more work needs to b
