Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the role of wave and tidal energy in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan.

The Government expects tidal stream to play a role in the 2030 energy mix, with even more potential to help meet the UK’s longer-term decarbonisation objectives beyond 2030.

Wave energy technologies have promise and the Government is closely monitoring the strides being made by the sector. These technologies are currently at the research and design (R&D) stage and may still have an important role to play in the UK energy system post-2030.
