The strength of the
supply chain, the
fantastic energy resources
around the coast and the
region’s excellent research
facilities, have put the
south west at the
forefront of the marine
energy sector.
Offshore renewable energy represents a massive
economic opportunity for the UK supply chain.
With core strengths in marine operations, engineering and marine sciences, companies based in the south west of England are already playing a key role in the growing offshore renewable energy industry.
Many of these companies are diversifying into this new market from the region’s existing marine engineering, aerospace, manufacturing, composites and defence industries bringing with them the skills and capabilities that the sector will require in order to commercialise and deliver cost effective, low carbon energy.
A key feature of the south west business community is the concentration of innovative companies that are actively engaged in partnerships with technology developers and who are willing to invest to provide innovative and cost effective solutions.
Introduction
Through its designation as the first marine energy park, the south west has established a very strong partnership with industry to promote the marine energy sector, attract investment and create a business environment to accelerate the commercialisation of marine energy technology.
4 5
The south west offers developers and project
investors a broad portfolio of tidal, wind and wave
energy resource areas. With good access to the
grid and centres of population this strong resource
is matched by strong local demand for energy.
Wave energyWith a peninsular facing into the prevailing westerly oceanic swell, waves in the south west contain a great deal of energy - typically 15-25 kw/m off the north Cornish coast, increasing to 35-40 kw/m in the area around the Isles of Scilly. While these waves are powerful, storm conditions that would challenge the survivability of wave energy devices are less extreme; an important element in early technology development.
Offshore windWith thousands of miles of Atlantic fetch and a south westerly prevailing wind, the region is well positioned for the exploitation of offshore wind energy through developments such as the Navitus Bay wind farm, Dorset. Whilst the demise of the Atlantic Array offshore wind farm project in 2013 was disappointing, prospects for offshore wind in the region are good. The development of innovative floating offshore wind foundations such as the Energy Technologies Institute’s (ETI) Pelastar, tension leg platform designed by Glosten Associates and due for installation at Wave Hub in 2015 marks a key milestone in the development of this exciting new technology.
Tidal energyAt 14 meters, the Bristol Channel has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, with the potential to make a major contribution to the UK’s low carbon energy supply. The south west also has significant tidal stream resource with flow speeds in excess of 2.0-2.5 m/s along the north Devon and Somerset coast as well as off the coast of Portland and the Isle of Wight.

Technology developers
Tidal energy technologyThe world’s first tidal stream turbine was designed and installed off Lynmouth in 2003 by Marine Current Turbines and IT Power. The region’s reputation as a centre for the research and development of tidal energy technology has grown ever since, spawning a highly capable technology development supply chain.
Today the south west is home to the greatest concentration of tidal stream technology development companies anywhere in the world, including many of the market leaders.
With a massive tidal range of up to 14m in the Bristol Channel, the region is also home to some of the latest advances in tidal lagoon technology, capable of exploiting this resource whilst being compatible with needs the region’s key stakeholders.
Wave energy technologyThe south west region’s strong wave climate, supply chain, test facilities and research capabilities provide all the elements that wave energy technology developers need.
The technology development offer in the south west includes concept testing and validation at Plymouth University’s world class wave tank facility – COAST; scale testing at FaB Test; early array testing at Wave Hub and the potential for full-scale commercial wave farms off the coast of the Isles of Scilly in a 35kW/m resource.

North Devon demonstration area, LynmouthThe Lynmouth tidal energy demonstration site is off the North Devon coast at Foreland Point, with water depths of 18-20m and peak flow speeds of 2.5m/s, making it an ideal site for testing prototype devices, materials, components and technologies designed to exploit shallower and more moderate tidal flows.
South Dorset demonstration area, PortlandThe Portland demonstration site, located to the south east of Portland and less than 5 nautical miles from Portland Port represents a new area of opportunity for tidal stream technology testing and development. Flow speeds at the site exceed 2.0 m/s in water depths of approximately 30m. Project developments at the site will be supported by a growing offshore renewable energy supply chain in the region.
PTEC, Isle of WightCurrently under development, the PTEC tidal array test centre will offer device and project developers the opportunity to test arrays of tidal turbines in the strong resource to the south of St Catherine’s point.
Wave HubWave Hub is a grid-connected offshore site for the large-scale testing and development of wave energy device arrays. The 8 sq km facility is located 16 km off the coast of Cornwall in a zone of 25 kw/m wave resource.
The facility provides four berths for the demonstration of arrays of wave energy devices. The electrical infrastructure at Wave Hub has been recently upgraded to provide a total of 50 MW of capacity.
Wave Hub is linked to the UK’s electricity grid via a purpose built substation next to the new Hayle marine renewables business park. A fibre optic data connection carried by the shore-link cable gives technology developers the facility to monitor and control their devices remotely.
FaBTestThe Falmouth Bay Test site (FaBTest) is a pre-consented 2 sq km wave energy test site allowing testing of up to three devices concurrently. Developed in response to industry requests for an area to test part-scale models of wave energy devices in dynamic environments, the site offers water depths of 20-50m, a moderate wave climate and rock, gravel and sand seabed.
Whilst not grid connected, FaBTest provides a stepping stone from proof of concept to full-scale deployment.
The Fred Olsen Bolt 2 Wave energy converter was the first device to be deployed at FaBTest in early 2012 and successfully tested at the site for over 18 months.

HayleThe £20m redevelopment of Hayle harbour on the north Cornish coast began in December 2013. The redevelopment includes the 0.8ha Marine Renewables Business Park to serve the Wave Hub approximately 20km offshore from the port. Due to its proximity to Wave Hub, the port will be particularly well suited to operation and maintenance activities.
North Devon PortsThe North Devon Ports (Bideford, Appledore, Yelland and Ilfracombe) are well positioned to provide construction and operation services to the energy projects developed in the Bristol Channel. These future offshore renewable energy projects include wave energy opportunities off north coast of Cornwall and tidal stream and range energy in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel.
PlymouthPlymouth is a centre for naval engineering much of which is focused around the Devonport Royal Dockyard – the largest naval base and dockyard in western Europe. It directly employs over 5000 people with 14 dry dock’s and 25 tidal berths on a 263ha site. As part of the Plymouth and South West Peninsula City Deal, £110m of investment will be used to develop 32ha of the site into a Marine Industries Production Campus.
PortlandPortland is a large commercial port on the south coast with deep and sheltered water, existing waterside facilities and the necessary consents for a major expansion if needed. The port lies within easy reach of the planned Navitus Bay Wind Park and the tidal resources around Portland Bill and the English Channel.
There are more than 70 ports in the south west
including a number of major international ports.
Ports, port operations and land based support
BristolAs well as being a centre for engineering, composites and aerospace, Bristol is one of the most advanced ports in the world. It is a gateway container port for the UK and a major transhipment point for the Atlantic seaboard. With its excellent rail and road links, the port also plans to expand its facilities with a new deep-sea container terminal in the Bristol Channel.
Falmouth With the deepest natural harbour in Western Europe and a well established marine supply chain, Falmouth is well positioned to continue as an active and leading port for offshore renewables. The FaBTest in Falmouth bay is well serviced by Falmouth port including quayside facilities, marine operations companies, repair and maintenance and workshop facilities.
These ports have the combined capability and experience to support technology development, device manufacturing, installation, and operations and maintenance of offshore renewable energy projects.

The National Composites Centre (NCC) is the
UK’s centre of excellence in composites and
advanced materials applied research.
The NCC’s mission is ‘To be an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and rapid manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation.’
Opened in 2011 and located in the Bristol and Bath Science Park, the NCC is one of seven centres across the UK that make up the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. The 8,500m2 centre (currently expanding as part of their Phase 2 development) provides manufacturing facilities for composites at an industrial scale and aims to a hub for the UK’s manufacturing industry.
The NCC supports design innovation leading to rapid manufacturing and commercial exploitation of advanced composite materials for the aerospace, marine, automotive and renewable energy industries.
The NCC is supported by a range of industrial partners including Vestas, Airbus, Augusta Westland, Rolls Royce, and GKN as well as regional universities.
Born out of the aerospace and yacht building industry, south west companies, universities, consultancies and research facilities such as the National Composites Centre have developed significant expertise and capability in the design and manufacture of complex composite structures.
The high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and ability to manufacture complex shapes means composite materials are highly suitable for wind and tidal turbine blades in addition to numerous other components subjected to the highly dynamic offshore environment.

The Bristol Tidal Forum is a biannual forum that provides a meeting place for technology developers, industry and supply chain companies, project developers and research institutions.
The forum has over 100 members and welcomes international and UK based companies who wish to engage with technology developers, companies and consultancies based in the south west of England.
Become part of the forum: X Knowledge sharing
X Identifying opportunities in the sector
X Addressing barriers and challenges
X Building relationships and collaborations
X Developing the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary
X Supporting new tidal technologies for the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary
The forum is open to any business or organisation working in the development of the tidal energy sector.
A LinkedIn group accompanies the event to allow continued discussion and is open to both members and potential members.
The South West Marine Energy Park’s core objective is to accelerate the commercial deployment of marine energy technology, working to support the development of marine energy technology by removing barriers, promoting regional capability and attracting investment.
The South West MEP promotes the region at national and international conferences such as All Energy in Aberdeen and works closely with DECC, The Crown Estate and other regional bodies. The South West MEP marked its first anniversary in 2013 by signing an MoU to collaborate with Scotland’s first Marine Energy Park – the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters MEP. The South West MEP also signed an MoU with the Channel Islands Marine Renewable Energy Group (CIMREG) this year, providing an important link to this area of strong resource and expertise in marine renewable energy and financial services.
If you or your company want to learn more about the SWMEP or join the partnership please contact Johnny Gowdy [email protected]
More information about the SWMEP can be found in its prospectus, available online at www.regensw.co.uk/projects/offshore-renewables/marine-energy-/marine-energy-parks
Looking ahead to 2020 the South West MEP will aim to:
X Ensure that R&D and test facilities such Wave Hub and FaBTest are utilised
X Work with Local Enterprise Partnerships, City Deals and Local Authorities to secure additional investment in supply chain, skills, international markets and infrastructure
X Prioritise investment in grid and port infrastructure
X Support early project development which is likely to be at small scale
X Bring in additional finance and funding through regional and national grants, Green Investment Banks and the private sector
X Develop the Balanced Technology strategy to harness the energy potential of the Bristol Channel.
The south west was the first UK region
to be designated as a Marine Energy
Park (MEP). The South West MEP
covers a geographical area from Bristol
and the Severn Estuary around the
coast of Cornwall to the Isle of Wight.
An open, industry led forum dedicated to the development of the
tidal energy sector.
