Tidal installations are already operating
in the UK and the first significant wave energy device has just
been installed off the coast of Portugal. Developers and power
generation companies are now starting to include this new
technology as part of their business plans for growth in power
generation.
The marine bill recently approved now makes
the implementation of wave and tidal simpler. However, there is a
real need to balance the requirement for maximum affordable energy
with acceptable impact on the environment, shipping, business and
community, which requires detailed assessment of the many options
available.
EC Harris is able to provide the management
expertise to deliver the right outcomes. Our key services will
include the financial modelling and feasibility advice as well as
the procurement, cost and project management throughout the live
cycle of the project. We are able to supplement our team with our
managed community in wave and tidal to provide an integrated
delivery solution with design and technical marine experts.
