The UK is world leading in wave and tidal energy. Home to state-of-the-art testing facilities and first-of-a kind demonstration and array projects, the UK offers major commercial opportunities in marine energy projects.
We have advised the marine energy sector for many years. Our wave and tidal energy team has been involved in key marine energy projects – covering wave, tidal stream, tidal barrages and tidal fences – including MeyGen, the world’s largest tidal stream project, and EMEC, the European Marine Energy Centre.
We have the track record, industry insight and regulatory knowledge to drive a project to completion having advised developers, investors and the supply chain. From fundraising and tendering to construction and operation, our advice covers the entire project lifecycle. We sit on many of the influential working groups in marine energy and are regular speakers at key industry events.
Our work has earned us a number of industry awards.
