It represents the largest wave and tidal development zone in that part of the world. Climate Change Minister Greg Barker officially opens the park, which aims to boost the country’s fast growing marine power industry. The park is the […]

This offers huge possibilities in harnessing the full potential of marine energy. The existing technology to extract energy from the sea is still immature compared to solar or wind energy. It is not yet commercially competitive without subsidy. The key challenges […]
