Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assistance she plans to provide for the development of tidal stream power technology.
That the UK has deployed the world’s first commercial scale tidal stream turbine MCT SeaGen, a 1.2MW project.
The world’s first multi-turbine tidal stream array, MeyGen 1A, received £10m in DECC innovation funding and will be deployed in the UK this year.
We are looking at what more we can do to support these developing technologies.
