Tidal Energy

The report provides guidance and is intended for policymakers, regulators and public funding bodies responsible for innovation and market frameworks for ocean energy technologies.

The Dragon 12 powerplant has been installed (grid-connected) for 9 months since May 2025 and has provided valuable production and operational data.

With potential to supply up to 17% of electricity in key EU countries by 2050, the project also targets volume manufacturing across the EU.

While tidal generation varies throughout the day, its cyclical nature means this variability can be accurately forecast.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
