An in-depth survey was carried out by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult on behalf of Crown Estate Scotland in 2023, with views and ideas sought from those working to develop and bring to market the next generation of wave and tidal technologies and projects.
The survey found that there was a significant appetite for development of both tidal energy and wave energy in Scotland but with each sector increasingly focused on differentiating their market positions there is a need to reflect their differing priorities and challenges.
