  11. Advantages Disadvantages Very expensive Limited number of suitable sites Environmental damage to estuarine sites Long period of development Possible effects on ports and industries upstream When visible, ugly • Predictable • Wave farms can predict about 48 hours in advance with increasing accuracy. • Renewable • Unlimited • Once built: Free (water) • Low maintenance cost. • High supply when high demand (winter) • Not as visible

  12. Around 10% of Europe’s total wave resource flows in the seas of the Scottish Isles. • Scottish Government calculate about 14 gigawatts of recoverable energy lying in the sea. • Scottish Government sets a target for having 100% of Scotland's electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Scottish Islands

  13. Wavegen is the world leaders in wave energy. • Limpet was placed on the shoreline since 2000. • Wavegen supplied the world’s first commercially operated wave plant in Mutriku. (Started in July 2011) • Supplied 16 power units that provide an output of 300kw in total. • Sufficient for around 250 homes. Wavegen

  14. Where is it prevalent?
