Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to support the UK's wave and tidal stream energy sector.
The Government has a long history of supporting the development and deployment of wave and tidal stream technologies in the UK. Since 2010, various bodies across Government have made almost £80m of grant funding available to the wave and tidal sectors. Wave and tidal stream projects are eligible to enter the forthcoming Contract for Difference allocation round.
