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
The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. A large part of the energy transition takes place at sea and sustainable innovations reshape the maritime sector. Our communities, the offshore, maritime and energy industry, are front runners in this change. Navingo believes that
European tidal stream projects generated 50 per cent more electricity in 2019 than the year before
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:
Eco Wave Power (EWPG Holding) has installed a new combined wave and solar system in the EWP grid connected wave energy power station in Gibraltar. Eco Wave Power integrated eight solar panels on the surface of its eight floaters, operational in Gibraltar. Each panel has the installed capacity of 330

Renewable Risk Advisers (RRA) has secured a framework agreement for insurance broker services from marine energy developer Minesto. The deal, valid for three years with possibility to extend it one more year, will see the UK-based firm provide insurances for renewable marine – tidal energy technolog
The Blue-GIFT (Blue Growth and Innovation Fast Tracked) project 2nd call for applications for ocean energy demonstration will close on the 30th of April 2020. Applications can benefit from an early assessment if the test plan requires a starting date on Q1 & Q2 2020. This project is funded by Interr
Swedish marine energy developer Minesto has reported net loss for 2019 of close to SEK 126 million ($12.5 million), mostly related to one-off writedowns of previously capitalised technology development. Namely, Minesto decided to write down technology development costs attributed to earlier years, s

Through its Interreg 2 Seas Programme, Europe has awarded €5.9 million to the ENCORE project: Energising Coastal Regions with Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE). The goal of the project is to advance the rapidly emerging ORE sector. With the ambition to become a global industry leader, the 2 Seas ORE s
Swedish marine energy developer Minesto said that so far it has had no negative impact related to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on incoming components and subsystem deliveries. The major kite system components for Minesto’s Faroe Islands project are assembled and are currently being factory tes
Global wave and tidal stream energy production has risen tenfold over the last decade, according to a report issued by Ocean Energy Systems (OES). Ocean Energy Systems (OES) annual report shows cumulative energy produced from wave and tidal stream sources surged from less than 5GWh in 2009 to 45GWh
Marine energy developer Eco Wave Power has finalized the wave simulation testing of the fully integrated EWP conversion unit for its Jaffa Port expansion project. The testing will be followed by automation system installation and calibration, breakwater reinforcement, floaters production and full sy
