Halcrow consultants are about to begin a feasability study on a the infrastructure required for Marine Renewables off the Welsh Coast which will fully compliment the MRESF. As part of the study they will be undertaking an onshore grid capacity study and investigating the cost and investment necessary to proceed. The study is due for completion in 2012.
