Tomorrows future…Today!
The British Crown Estate announced the winning bids for the world’s first commercial wave and tidal leasing round, for ten sites in Scotland’s Pentland Firth and Orkney waters.
The 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity proposed by the wave and tidal energy developers for 2020–600 megawatts (MW) each from wave and tidal–is enough electricity to meet the needs of up to three quarters of a million homes.
The developers have signed development agreements with The Crown Estate, which owns the UK seabed out to the 12 nautical mile territorial limit and over 55% of the foreshore.
Do you know what this means???
