Consortium awarded 25 MSEK grant to build a tidal energy power plant

Minesto is heading a consortium of four that has been awarded a total of 25 MSEK grant funding from Swedish Energy Agency to build a complete microgrid installation in the Faroe Islands.

Innovative research provides further insights into how ocean waves form

Findings pave the way for improving wave forecasts, helping coastal communities become more resilient as they prepare for floods and storm surge.

Balmoral Comtec backs renewables with million-pound wave and current simulation facility

Balmoral Comtec has invested £1 million in the development of a state-of-the-art Wave and Current Simulation Facility at Balmoral Business Park in Aberdeen.

NH1 tidal power project will benefit from funding of €31.3 million

France has the second largest current in Europe. With a demonstrated development potential of around 5 to 6 GW, it represents a production of 15 to 18 TWh to supply electricity to 8 million people.

First onshore wave energy project in the US gets official nod

Eco Wave Power Global AB has received the final Nationwide Permit (NWP) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its groundbreaking wave energy project at AltaSea’s premises at the Port of Los Angeles.

First-of-a-kind tidal dragon farm in the Faroe Islands moves forward

The Hestfjord Dragon Farm is a first-of-a-kind tidal energy array with Minesto Dragon 12-kites with a total capacity of 10 MW in a first phase.

Revolutionary grid-scale wave energy generator deployed in Hawaii

Ocean Energy has deployed its 826-tonne wave energy converter buoy OE-35 at the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site off the coast of the island of Oahu ahead of it being hooked up to Hawaii's electricity grid.

Tidal energy is coming to Alaska. But how much?

The state's Cook Inlet, which flows right up to the center of the Railbelt in Anchorage, contains some of the largest tidal energy resources of any region on Earth (including about one-third of the United States' total tidal power).

Scientists find clever way to harvest blue energy from waves
