The University of Plymouth has won a bid to hold the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) at its premises in September 2021.
University researchers in the UK have been awarded almost £1 million for the FlexWave project that will test the potential of using flexible materials in the design and manufacture of wave energy devices. The FlexWave project will explore whether types of rubber, composites and polymers can be effec
Carnegie Clean Energy has put in motion two new international technical collaborations which support the advancement of the CETO wave energy device’s power take-off (PTO) and mooring systems.
The Welsh government has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to determine the best approach to formulating a potential competition that would support the delivery of a tidal range energy project on the Welsh coastline.
Renewable electricity generation in the UK outperformed fossil fuels for the first year ever in 2020, with offshore and onshore wind providing more than half of the country’s renewable electricity last year. Renewables generated 43 per cent of the UK’s electricity, while fossil fuels provided 38.5 p
A new study by the University of Plymouth has positioned the UK at the forefront of offshore renewable energy innovation and development worldwide, finding also that wave energy could have a greater role in the country’s transition to net-zero future. Wave energy has the potential to provide at leas
Renewable energy company Carnegie Clean Energy has become debt-free following the conversion of the remaining convertible notes.
Dutch-based company Water2Energy (W2E) is making headway with the construction of its next-generation tidal energy turbine that will be installed at an existing sluice in the Port of Flushing later in 2021.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), has awarded funding to eight projects looking to develop and test new cutting-edge wave energy technologies.
Columbia Power Technologies (C-Power) has entered into collaboration with RigNet for the supply of a comprehensive set of data and communications solutions for its autonomous offshore power systems (AOPS).
Swedish wave energy company Seabased and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult have created a new software tool designed to help extract the most power from various types of wave climates.
Swedish marine energy company Minesto has delivered its second tidal kite to the Faroe Islands and verified that its power production performance is aligned with simulated predictions.
A new project, dubbed VATTS, has been launched with the aim to demonstrate vertical axis tidal turbines coupled with battery storage technology in a demonstration planned for Strangford Lough later this year.
The multi-purpose Powerpier solution, designed to offer protection from waves while exploiting them to produce clean power, has been installed offshore the Norwegian town of Ålesund.
