Wave energy collaboration launched for UK and Ireland

It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the renewables sector, with Ørsted installing its 100th turbine at its Hornsea One offshore wind farm; India launching a domestic rooftop solar framework for slum regions and ground being broken on a 10MW solar farm in Cuba.

Building on this trend, blue economy project developers Simply Blue Energy and CorPower have signed a strategic collaboration agreement aimed at delivering “a significant number of” wave energy projects across the coasts of the UK and Ireland. Simply Blue Energy has identified a number of development areas suitable for commercial wave energy project deployment and, under the partnership, will have exclusive rights to use CorPower’s technology in these zones.

The collaboration will specifically investigate integrating floating wind farms with floating wave power, in a bid to help Simply Blue Energy achieve its vision of producing and exporting electricity from wave power in 2024.
