UK Invests Further in Morlais Tidal Energy
Inyanga Marine Energy Group has been awarded a further 10 MW for its tidal energy project at Morlais in Anglesey, Wales, through Allocation Round 6 (AR6) of the U.K. government’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme. This expands the scale of the project, which uses the company’s innovative HydroWing technology, to 20 MW, building on the 10-MW award in the previous allocation round.
The contract for the HydroWing project at Morlais is the largest tidal energy contract awarded for a project through CfD AR6.
The Contracts for Difference is a U.K. government scheme that aims to bring forward new, clean energy, helping the U.K. achieve energy security.
Run by Menter Môn Morlais, all necessary infrastructure is already installed in the zone for the Morlais tidal energy project , including a connection to the national grid and two substations on the shore.
