Welcome to Marine Energy Pembrokeshire
Marine Energy Pembrokeshire has been set up to provide information and promote Pembrokeshire as a Hub for Marine Renewables. This website will become a “one stop shop” for developers, investors and the public wanting to know more about the projects, the resource, consenting, funding, research and infrastructure.
Why Pembrokeshire?
In addition to the excellent marine energy resource that Pembrokeshire has to offer, there are a number of other factors that set the area apart from other UK sites and provide an attractive package for potential investors. These include
- excellent grid connection possibilities
- world class research
- world class port facilities
- transferable skills
- collaborative working
- unrivalled data collection
These are just some of the factors that have contributed to Tidal Energy Limited deploying Wales’ first tidal energy device in the region in 2012. Use the Projects tab above to view information on the developers looking to deploy here while the About section highlights some of the qualities that Pembrokeshire has including details about the group behind Marine Energy Pembrokeshire. The Publications, Funding and Research sections have relevant Marine Energy information while the latest news and events features will help keep you up to date.
Globally, Marine Renewable Energy is increasingly being seen as an important part of the energy mix. Increasingly ambitious global targets are being agreed to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and to provide more secure and stable future energy. Pembrokeshire has the potential to make a significant contribution to decarbonising the UK economy and enabling the UK and Welsh Government to meet their renewable energy targets. Marine Energy in Pembrokeshire could increase and diversify economic activities, raise skill levels, sustain and strengthen local communities and most importantly contribute to the single greatest challenge of our time – Climate Change.
