The €20m Enabling Future Arrays in Tidal scheme is an academic-industry collaboration between nine European partners and has already achieved impressive results from its Shetland tidal array

A total of 91 MPs have signed a letter to Energy Minister Claire Perry calling for her to ensure the UK capitalises on its wealth of marine energy resources

Around 2,300 investors provided an average of £3,000 each

Inverness-based AWS Ocean Energy and Edinburgh’s Mocean Energy have received the financing from Wave Energy Scotland

The move marks the start of the second stage of securing public funding for its tidal technology

They are developing an innovative anchor and mooring system for marine energy turbines

Both solar power as well as wave and tidal also received backing from 83% of people

This makes it the first device supported by Wave Energy Scotland to do so

The money will be spent on feasibility testing for the firm’s tidal energy technology

The 434 contracts signed were worth up to £7.5m each
