To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they are giving to the stimulation of the development of tidal power.
This question was answered on 23rd December 2020
To date, nine tidal stream developers have received funding from BEIS under the Renewables Obligation scheme. In addition to that, one tidal stream developer has received funding through BEIS’ Energy Innovation Programme. Tidal stream projects are also eligible for Contracts for Difference (CFD)auctions. We will consider the role of wave and tidal energy, following further evaluation of the commercial and technical evidence.
