Wave Power
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of replicating the Wave Energy Scotland model across the UK.
- Answer
-
The department has not undertaken a formal assessment of the potential merits of replicating the Wave Energy Scotland (WES) model across the UK. WES primarily utilizes a competitive pre-commercial procurement (PCP) model to drive innovation and development in the wave energy sector.
However, the Government has provided innovative support for wave energy though a suite of a suite of research funding programmes, operated both by DESNZ centrally, and, by UK Research and Innovation, including competitive funding schemes programmes such as the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund.
