A joint venture has been launched by Alstom and SSE Renewables to create what it says would be the world's largest wave farm off the coast of Scotland, it was announced today.
The SeaGen tidal energy turbine has achieved and passed government operating performance criteria for the UK's emerging tidal & wave energy technologies.
Pelamis Wave Power Limited (PWP) has secured a second order for its Pelamis P2 wave energy converter from ScottishPower Renewables. This follows an earlier order from E.ON for the first P2 machine, which is currently in the final stages of manufacture/ integration at PWP's Leith facility and is due to be installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (Emec) in Orkney later this year.
