'Three Scottish wave energy projects, including Aquamarine Power’s 30 MW development north of the Isle of Lewis, have been given the go-ahead.

The Crown Estate’s latest leases for development include a second 10 MW demonstration of Aquamarine Power’s Oyster wave energy converter off north west Lewis and a 10 MW project by Vattenfall and Pelamis Wave Power off the west coast of Shetland.

The two Aquamarine Power developments could see up to 40 Oyster near-shore devices installed along 2 km of coast, which would be capable of generating power for up to 38,000 homes'.
