Op-Ed: Why Wave Energy Must Be the UK’s Next Great Green Frontier
can unlock scale and sharply reduce costs as seen in offshore wind and solar PV. Wave energy is now poised for the same trajectory. But with CfD Allocation Round 8 approaching, hesitation is no longer harmless. Every month of delay risks ceding ground to nations already racing ahead.The UK’s clean energy future will not be defined by one technology alone, but by a diverse portfolio that reinforces energy security, economic opportunity, and environmental integrity. Wave energy is long debated and finally now proven is ready to take its place. The Atlantic has thundered against British shores for millennia
