Global ocean energy production has risen tenfold over the last decade, according to a report issued today by a leading ocean energy organisation. It was created in response to increased ocean wave and tidal current energy activity primarily in Denmark, Portugal and the UK. He added: “The start of this new decade carries considerable promise for ocean energy. In North America, Canada amended its Marine Renewable Energy Act to extend feed-in-tariffs and Purchasing Power Agreements for tidal energy developers working in FORCE. In addition, Spain has drafted ocean energy targets for 2025 (25MW) and 2030 (50MW) while Scotland is actively supporting the development of ocean energy technologies through the £10 million Saltire Tidal Energy Challenge Fund.
