I am working with Ministers across the Cabinet, including the COP President Designate, to help promote the UK's story on energy transition. The COP President Designate has met with renewable energy industry bodies in Scotland, to explore how they can support a successful COP26. The Government has a long history of supporting the development and deployment of wave and tidal stream technologies in the UK, including in Scotland. Since 2003 various bodies across Government have provided innovation/R&D funding of £175m to the wave and tidal sectors (almost £80m since 2010).
