Harnessing Marine Energy
Wave and tidal stream energy have the real potential for bulk electricity supply in the UK, Europe and worldwide. The estimated energy resources are significant, particularly offshore wave energy. The Carbon Trust have proposed between 15% to 20% of the current UK electricity demand could be met by marine energy.

Sea Trials
Long duration (circa 1 year) test campaign in an uncontrolled but moderately benign environment. This stage represents the developers first real experience of marine operations and consenting processes.

Commercial Deployment
Small farms provide for the commercial production of power and for the demonstration of the inter-operation of machines and optimization of installation, maintenance and recovery methodologies. Only then can complete commercial deployment be achieveable.
