MORE than £10million is to be invested in new research and development to help demonstrate that wave and tidal energy can be generated at scale, and with lower production costs.
Marine Energy – Supporting Array Technologies is a competition for collaborative R&D funding that will support the applied research, experimental development and demonstration of innovative technologies that solve common issues faced by those developing and deploying the first marine-energy arrays.
The funding, from the Technology Strategy Board, Scottish Enterprise and Natural Environment Research Council, will support deployment and operation of the first series of wave and tidal arrays while complementing other public funding initiatives.
