Swedish-Israeli wave energy developer Eco Wave Power has launched its first MW-scale wave energy project in Porto, Portugal.
Wave Energy Scotland (WES) has granted £400,000 (approximately $514k) to be shared between two projects in the second round of the Direct Generation Concept Design Competition.
The Marine Energy Council (MEC) welcomed the increase, which is expected to contract an additional 25 MW of tidal stream capacity to the UK’s deployment pipeline.
The trials, conducted from late March to late May, tested the system’s capabilities in real-sea conditions.
This partnership is set to support early site development, speeding up marine energy deployment and creating a pipeline of projects for future renewable auctions.
CETO Wave Energy Ireland (CWEI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnegie Clean Energy, has secured funding to participate as an industry partner/wave energy technology representative in the Modular Electrical Generator PTO system for wave (MEGA WAVE PTO) project, funded by Horizon Europe.
EU-backed SafeWAVE project, short for Streamlining the Assessment of Environmental Effects of Wave Energy, has been prolonged until December 2024.
Besides dry testing at the site, Slow Mill Sustainable Power will also be setting up the WEC for offshore preparation.
Marine hydrokinetics pioneer Ocean Energy USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ocean Energy Group Ireland, has deployed what is said to be the world’s first electricity grid-scale wave energy device at the U.S. Navy’s test site in Hawaii. The 826-ton wave energy convertor buoy, the OE-35, was deployed
The UK government will today (July 25) introduce a bill to establish Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean energy company. Ahead of issuing the bill, the government revealed a partnership between the new company and The Crown Estate. The tie-up is said to lead to 20-30 GW in new offshore wind
The EU-backed SafeWAVE project, which has the aim of overcoming some of the non-technological barriers that could hinder the future development of ocean energy, has been extended until December 2024. The extension of the Streamlining the Assessment of Environmental Effects of Wave Energy (SafeWAVE)
UK-based Blackfish Engineering has unveiled a mooring system, called C-Dart, which eliminates the direct handling of heavy mooring lines by operational personnel. The system is designed to rapidly connect various floating structures and assets, including wave and tidal energy converters, offshore wi
Cable installation for what is the first pre-permitted, utility-scale, grid-connected wave energy test site in the U.S. is scheduled to commence later this month. The cables will support Oregon State University’s PacWave South facility, which when completed will allow wave energy developers to test
Wales’ marine renewable energy sector delivered £29.9 million to the Welsh economy during the 2023 / 24 financial year, a significant slowdown in spending compared to last year’s total of £103.4 million, according to a report by Marine Energy Wales. The decline is thought to be down to the conclusio
