UK Wave Hub Announced – A New Dawn for Wave Power
A PLAN to test new wave-power devices off the coast of south-west England will create the world’s largest wave farm, establish the area as a global leader in the technology’s development and make the United Kingdom the location of choice for worldwide wave-energy companies.
The Wave Hub project – costing 28 million pounds and which is being promoted by the area’s regional development agency – seeks to establish the globe’s first large-scale wave-energy farm in a bid to pioneer an industry that would provide hundreds of jobs and generate many millions of pounds.
The initial development, now anticipating final UK government and European Union go-ahead, will produce power worth 76m pounds sterling over a 25-year period and involve at least 170 new jobs.
