British energy consumers could save £26 billion ($30 billion) over the next two years, nearly £950 per household, through a government plan to cap profits of existing wind and solar farms in exchange for long-term price certainty.
A tidal power device designed by engineering group Rolls-Royce has become the first to supply more than 100 megawatt (MW) hours of electricity to the national grid.
SEAGEN, a tidal device developed by Marine Current Turbines, has passed a significant milestone by generating its two-millionth unit of electricity to the energy grid in Northern Ireland. Said to be the world's first and only commercial-scale tidal-stream energy turbine, the 1.2MW device is located in Strangford Lough.
