In January 2009, the Forum for Renewable Energy Development in Scotland (FREDS) reconvened its industry-led Marine Energy Group (MEG). This Road Map reflects an up-to-date assessment of the status and potential of the marine energy industry in Scotland, alongside recommended actions to ensure its continuing growth. This new assessment is particularly timely given the increased pressures for the development of renewable energy flowing from the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009¹ and the new European Directive on Renewable Energy².

Although marine energy in Scotland has not developed as quickly as expected in the 2004 MEG Report “Harnessing Scotland‟s Marine Energy Potential”³– due in part to technical difficulties and financial constraints relating to technology development – the sector as a whole has made some significant steps forward over the last five years. Not least amongst these is the provision of strong public revenue support for marine energy projects in Scotland, and the fact that institutional investors have started to get involved in the sector. Additionally, Scotland is now seen as a global leader in marine energy, and this perception has been helped in no small way by the strengthening of facilities at EMEC to incorporate tidal testing. Significant progress has also been made in preparing the way for pre-commercial and commercial project development, with the completion of a Strategic Environmental
Assessment (SEA) for wave and tidal energy”^4” in Scotland in 2007, followed by the commencement of a commercial leasing process by The Crown Estate for sea-bed in the Pentland Firth/Orkney Waters area.

 

 

This document sets out scenarios for growth of the industry, to build on these steps. It identifies five key issues – finance, grid, planning, infrastructure/supply chain and Europe – which will be vital in terms of realising the high growth scenarios. The following
table outlines the Group‟s view on the priority recommendations:
