Magallanes Puts Tadek on Tidal Energy Cables and Mooring Systems Job
two contracts in UK’ contracts for difference (CfD) allocation rounds – the first at the Morlais Demonstration Zone, in North Wales, where it will install two 1.5 MW tidal energy platforms, adding 3 MW to the 6 MW capacity secured in 2022.The second project will take place at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Scotland where the company has its UK base and plans to install a 1.5 MW tidal energy array featuring its ATIR tidal energy platforms.Tadek Ocean Engineering is delivering a broad package of support to Spanish tidal energy developer which includes detailed design related to

Mocean Energy Raises Funds for Blue Star Wave Energy Technology
further research and development into their large-scale Blue Horizon technology, which was recently awarded £3.2 million by the EU-backed EuropeWave programme. Mocean plans to refine the Blue Horizon 250kW design ahead of the manufacture and deployment of a grid-connected machine at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney as early as 2025.“This new equity investment is significant for Mocean Energy – not just in the quantum invested, but in the additional strengths and specialist expertise our new shareholders bring,” says Mocean Energy managing director and co-founder
Mocean Energy to Develop 250kW Wave Machine in Orkney with EU Investment
Wave energy technology developer Mocean Energy has secured over £3 million EU funding to develop and deploy a 250kW wave machine in Orkney.The wave energy device – named Blue Horizon 250 – will be manufactured in Scotland and deployed in a grid-connected berth at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney as early as 2025.It’s hoped the project could then pave the way to a small wave farm delivering 1-2 MW of low-carbon electricity by 2030, Mocean Energy said.The Edinburgh firm has been awarded £3.2 million (€3,749,405) in Phase 3 of EuropeWave, a pre-commercia

Scottish Project Harnesses Wave Power and Subsea Storage to Power Subsea Equipment
in the seas off Orkney and have now begun a minimum four-month test program where they will provide low carbon power and communication to infrastructure including Baker Hughes’ subsea controls equipment and a resident underwater autonomous vehicle provided by Transmark Subsea.The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has supplied instrumentation to measure the speed and direction of currents during the deployment, while Wave Energy Scotland has provided £160,000 to support the integration of the umbilical into the wave energy converter.The project aims to show how green technologies can
ORE Catapult: Tidal Stream Energy Costs Could Plummet If Current Opportunity is Realized

"An increasing emphasis on domestic energy security presents an opportunity for TSE to build capacity as a reliable and forecastable complementary renewable energy source," ORE Catapult said.Caroline Lourie, Technical Manager, at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) said: “The UK remains the most attractive global market for tidal stream energy, with over 10 GW potential. In 2021, £20 million a year was ring-fenced for the sector through the UK government’s Contracts for Difference scheme; an important endorsement of the

Blue Horizon wave energy machine as part of the EU-funded EuropeWave program.The Edinburgh-based wave power company is of seven technology developers awarded contracts for phase 1 of the €20 million R&D scheme, which will ultimately see three prototype technologies tested at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney and the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in Spain.The eight-day development program is taking place at the FloWave test facility at the University of Edinburgh, which is able to generate representative sea states for both sites.Blue Horizon is a mid-scale wave energy
Wave Energy Device for Subsea Oilfield Assets Arrives in Orkney for EMEC Demo
AWS Ocean Energy's wave energy converter, designed for remote power applications such as powering subsea oilfield assets, has arrived in Orkney ahead of its imminent deployment at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC). The 16 kW Archimedes Waveswing arrived at Hatston Pier, Kirkwall on Tuesday evening, January 25, 2022, before being transported to Copland’s Dock in Stromness where it will be prepared for deployment at EMEC’s Scapa Flow test site in February. Weighing in at 50 tons, the seven-meter high, four-meter diameter device traveled to Orkney by ferry following a
