Political support for seizing tidal power potential welcomed by industry
MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee have urged government to seize the opportunities presented by tidal energy to deliver on the UK’s electricity needs while address the drive to carbon net zero.
Conclusions that government must engage with the tidal power industry and provide revenue support follow a three month examination of tidal power technologies in the UK, which forms part of the committee’s continuing inquiry into Technological Innovations and Climate Change.
The committee’s support for the potential of tidal power technologies has been welcomed by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
