Marine energy data needed Print E-mail
Thursday, 28 February 2008

Scotland needs to obtain more data on the regions that offer the most potential for marine renewable energy if those opportunities are to be fully exploited, according to a new report by The Crown Estate. 

The Crown Estate is responsible for the seabed and is a key player in Scotland’s wave and tidal energy industry. A survey of wave data shows that the areas expected to have the most potential – the north west coast and the west of the Outer Hebrides – are the areas that lack the most consistent and reliable data.

The survey results have been released on the same day the Government is expected to announce its Marine Energy Strategy.

Rob Hastings, director of the Marine Estate at The Crown Estate said:

“We are committed to working with the Scottish Government, industry and other agencies to ensure that the Scottish marine energy industry is supported and nurtured. Scotland has considerable resource potential which could lead to high-value jobs in Scotland and we at The Crown Estate are already applying all our efforts help realise that potential.

“It is clear that more detailed research is needed into a number of key features of the area including the marine energy resources and the marine wildlife for example. This information is essential if the industry is going to develop technology, attract finance and locate the most appropriate sites. The report we have published today takes us one step towards filling those knowledge gaps and helping to develop industry confidence.”
