EMEC enters partnership with PTEC to develop 30 MW Perpetuus Tidal Energy Centre off the Isle of Wight
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has joined forces with Perpetuus Tidal Energy Centre (PTEC) to develop a large-scale tidal energy site off the Isle of Wight, England.
This site will be eligible to bid into future UK Contracts for Difference (CfD) allocation rounds enabling tidal energy technologies developed in the UK to deliver predictable low carbon energy.
PTEC is a 30 MW tidal energy demonstration facility 2.5 km south of the Isle of Wight, with a potential expansion capacity up to 300 MW. After signing off the agreements, EMEC is already working on-site development and optimization activities.
The partnership builds on work taking place in the GBP41 million (US$53.3 million) Interreg Channel funded TIGER project, which will ready five sites in France and the UK for tidal energy developments. The project is led by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE Catapult) with EMEC as a key site development partner.
