The strength of the supply chain, the fantastic

energy resources around the coast and the region’s

excellent research facilities, have put the south

west at the forefront of the marine energy sector.

Offshore renewable energy represents a massive

economic opportunity for the UK supply chain.

With core strengths in marine operations, engineering and marine sciences, companies based in the south west of England are playing a key role in the growing offshore renewable energy industry.

Many of these companies are diversifying into this new market from the region’s existing marine engineering, aerospace, manufacturing, composites and defence industries bringing with them the skills and capabilities that the sector will require in order to commercialise and deliver cost effective, low carbon energy.

A key feature of the south west business community is the concentration of innovative companies that are actively engaged in partnerships with technology developers and who are willing to invest to provide innovative and cost effective solutions.

Through its designation as a Marine Energy Park, the south west has developed a strong partnership with industry, academia and the public sector to promote marine renewable energy, attract investment and create a business environment to accelerate the commercialisation of marine energy technology.

The south west offers developers and project

investors a broad portfolio of tidal, wind and wave

energy resource areas. With good access to the

grid and centres of population this strong resource

is matched by strong local demand for energy.

Wave energyWith a peninsular facing into the prevailing westerly oceanic swell, waves in the south west contain a great deal of energy - typically 15-25 kw/m off the north Cornish coast, increasing to 35-40 kw/m in the area around the Isles of Scilly. While these waves are powerful, storm conditions that would challenge the survivability of wave energy devices are less extreme; an important element in early technology development.

Offshore windWith thousands of miles of Atlantic fetch and a south westerly prevailing wind, the region is well positioned for the exploitation of offshore wind energy through developments such as the Navitus Bay wind farm, Dorset. Whilst the demise of the Atlantic Array offshore wind farm project in 2013 was disappointing, prospects for offshore wind in the region are good. The development of innovative floating offshore wind foundations will be key to accessing much of the resource in the deep waters around the peninsula.

Tidal energyAt 14 meters, the Bristol Channel has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, with the potential to make a major contribution to the UK’s low carbon energy supply.

The south west also has significant tidal stream resource with flow speeds in excess of 2.0-2.5 m/s along the north Devon and Somerset coast as well as off the coast of Portland and the Isle of Wight.

With tidal range projects such as the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon having received planning permission and progress being made at the tidal stream Demo Zone in North Devon (designated by The Crown Estate), tidal energy continues to present a strong, future opportunity for low carbon energy in the region.

Renewable Risk AdvisersRenewable Risk Advisers (RRA), the expert in renewable energy risk management and insurance broking,

has now merged with the insurance business of Wind Forest Consultants, itself a long-standing renewable energy insurance and risk expert. It has also established a partnership arrangement with Fraser & Hoyt Insurance in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is advancing similar discussions with an expert partner in France.

These exciting developments allow RRA both to support the international development of the marine energy sector, while sharing expertise, best practice and lessons learned internationally.

RRA is a proud supporter of the leaders and innovators in the marine renewables sector in the UK and across the EU, including Aquamarine Power, Atlantis Resources, Marine Power Systems, MeyGen, Oceanflow, Tidal Energy Ltd, and other wave, tidal and floating wind specialists. It also has schemes, facilities and expertise to

support project developers and technology developers in onshore and offshore wind, solar, biomass and anaerobic digestion, geothermal and small hydro.

The team help with all phases of a technology life cycle, from planning the deployment of a prototype at a test site, through to contracting, installing and operating devices up to large arrays and their expertise also covers

technology and weather risk.

Please contact RRA to discuss how their risk management and insurance broking expertise can help your project.

Technology developers

Tidal energy technologyThe world’s first tidal stream turbine was designed in Bristol and installed off Lynmouth in 2003 by Marine Current Turbines and IT Power. The region’s reputation as a centre for research and development of tidal energy technology has grown ever since, spawning a highly capable technology development supply chain.

Today the south west has become one of the key clusters of tidal stream technology development companies anywhere in the world.

Wave energy technologyThe south west region’s strong wave climate, supply chain, test facilities and research capabilities provide all the elements that wave energy technology developers need.

The technology development offer in the south west includes concept testing and validation at Plymouth University’s world class wave tank facility – COAST; scale testing at FaB Test; early array testing at Wave Hub and the potential for full-scale commercial wave farms off the coast of the Isles of Scilly in a 35kW/m resource.

North Devon demonstration area, LynmouthAlso operated by Wave Hub Ltd, the North Devon Tidal Energy Demonstration Zone is located off the coast near Lynmouth and Foreland point. Water depths at the site vary from 18-25m and mean spring flow speeds are up to 2.5m/s, making it an ideal site for testing prototype devices, materials, components and technologies designed to exploit shallower and more moderate tidal flows.

PTEC, Isle of WightCurrently under development, the PTEC tidal array test centre will offer device and project developers the opportunity to test arrays of tidal turbines using dedicated electrical infrastructure in the strong resource to the south of St Catherine’s point.

Wave HubLocated near the tip of the Cornish peninsular, Wave Hub is a purpose built 48MW grid-connected test site for wave and floating offshore wind energy technologies. Wave Hub Ltd also manages the Crown Estate Demonstration Zones, one for wave energy in Pembrokeshire and one for tidal stream in North Devon.

The Wave Hub facility, which is situated 16km off the coast of Hayle, provides four berths for the demonstration of wave energy devices over an 8 sq km site.

Wave Hub is linked to the UK’s electricity grid via a purpose built substation next to the new Hayle Marine Renewables Business Park. A fibre optic data connection carried by the shore-link cable gives technology developers the facility to monitor and control their devices remotely.

FaBTestThe Falmouth Bay Test site (FaBTest) is a pre-consented 2 sq km wave energy test site allowing testing of up to three devices concurrently. Developed in response to industry requests for an area to test part-scale models of wave energy devices in dynamic environments, the site offers water depths of 20-50m, a moderate wave climate and rock, gravel and sand seabed.

Whilst not grid connected, FaBTest provides a stepping stone from proof of concept to full-scale deployment.

PolyGen deployed their full scale Volta device in the summer of 2015. Plans are at an advanced stage for the next wave of technology developers to deploy at FaBTest, including Marine Power Systems.

HayleThe £20m redevelopment of Hayle harbour on the north Cornish coast began in December 2013. The redevelopment includes the 0.8ha Marine Renewables Business Park to serve the Wave Hub approximately 20km offshore from the port. Due to its proximity to Wave Hub, the port will be particularly well suited to operation and maintenance activities.

North Devon PortsThe North Devon Ports (Bideford, Appledore, Yelland and Ilfracombe) are well positioned to provide construction and operation services to the energy projects developed in the Bristol Channel. These future offshore renewable energy projects include wave energy opportunities off north coast of Cornwall and tidal stream and range energy in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel.

PlymouthPlymouth is a centre for naval engineering much of which is focused around the Devonport Royal Dockyard – the largest naval base and dockyard in western Europe. It directly employs over 5000 people with 14 dry dock’s and 25 tidal berths on a 263ha site. In April 2015 a large area of the naval dockyards were handed over to the City of Plymouth by the MOD as part of the Plymouth and South West Peninsula City Deal. An investment of £110m will be used to develop the site into a Marine Industries Production Campus.

PortlandPortland is a large commercial port on the south coast with deep and sheltered water, existing waterside facilities and the necessary consents for a major expansion if needed. The port lies within easy reach of the planned Navitus Bay Wind Park and the tidal resources

around Portland Bill and the English Channel.There are more than 70 ports in the south west

including a number of major international ports.

Ports, port operations and land based support

BristolAs well as being a centre for engineering, composites and aerospace, Bristol is home to one of the most advanced ports in the world. It is a gateway container port for the UK and a major transhipment point for the Atlantic seaboard. With its excellent rail and road links, the port also plans to expand its facilities with a new deep-sea container terminal in the Bristol Channel.

Falmouth With the deepest natural harbour in Western Europe and a well established marine supply chain, Falmouth is well positioned to continue as an active and leading port for offshore renewables. The FaBTest facility in Falmouth bay is well served by Falmouth port including quayside facilities, marine operations companies, repair and maintenance and workshop facilities.

These ports have the combined capability and experience to support technology development, device manufacturing, installation, and operations and maintenance of offshore renewable energy projects.

The Bristol 2015 Marine Energy Accelerator Programme (MEAP) has been established to support the development of the marine renewable energy sector in the Bristol City Region, recognising the city’s unique cluster of marine renewable energy companies and the wealth of tidal energy resource in the Bristol Channel.

The programme builds on four previous years of support for the sector through Bristol City Council’s Offshore Energy Programme and includes the Bristol Tidal Energy Forum.

The forum has over 100 members and welcomes international and UK based companies who wish to engage with technology developers, companies and consultancies based in the south west of England.

The forum is open to any business or organisation working in the development of the tidal energy sector.

A LinkedIn group accompanies the event to allow continued discussion and is open to both members and potential members.

Become part of the forum: X Knowledge sharing

X Identifying opportunities in the sector

X Addressing barriers and challenges

X Building relationships and collaborations

X Developing the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary

X Supporting new tidal technologies for the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary

The South West Marine Energy Park’s core objective is to accelerate the commercial deployment of marine energy technology, working to support the development of marine energy technology by removing barriers, promoting regional capability and attracting investment.

The South West MEP promotes the region at national and international conferences such as All Energy in Aberdeen and works closely with DECC, The Crown Estate and other national and regional bodies. The South West MEP marked its first anniversary in 2013 by signing an Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate with Scotland’s first Marine Energy Park – the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters MEP. As well as productive partnerships with sub-regional groups in the south west, the South West MEP has also signed inter-regional MoUs with the Channel Islands Marine Renewable Energy Group (CIMREG), and Marine Energy Pembrokeshire (MEP) creating important working relationships with these key areas in the UK which have strong energy resources as well as supply chain and technology development expertise.

Looking ahead to 2020 the South West MEP will aim to:

X Ensure that R&D and test facilities such as Wave Hub and FaBTest are utilised

X Work with Local Enterprise Partnerships, City Deals and Local Authorities to secure additional investment in supply chain, skills, international markets and infrastructure

X Prioritise investment in grid and port infrastructure

X Support early project development which is likely to be at small scale

X Bring in additional finance and funding through regional and national grants, Green Investment Banks and the private sector

X Develop the Balanced Technology strategy to harness the energy potential of the Bristol Channel.

The south west was the first

UK region to be designated as

a Marine Energy Park (MEP).

The South West MEP covers a

geographical area from Bristol

and the Severn Estuary around

the coast of Cornwall to the

Isle of Wight.

To learn more about the South West MEP or join the partnership, please contact Johnny Gowdy – [email protected] or view our prospectus here: www.regensw.co.uk/our-work/offshore-renewables/south-west-marine-energy-park
