2016 and 2017 have seen a real take off in activity in the ocean energy sector. First arrays and full-scale demonstrators deployed and connected to grid. We can expect this activity to further increase in the coming years. To this graph need to add tidal barrages and lagoons. Swansea Bay – 320 MW – is fully permitted).

100 GW Wave and Tidal

Up to 40 GW Tidal Range and Salinity Gradient

3rd biggest contribution to EU power supply

10% of EU electricity by 2050
