The association acts as the main link between Europe’s ocean energy industry and the EU institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, EIB etc) and EU Member States.
As part of this membership, SgurrEnergy will use its sector expertise to feed into a number of policy and steering documents, as well as having valuable input into research groups.
SgurrEnergy’s commitment to the advancement of the wave and tidal sector is vast and ranges from academic collaboration with the University of Edinburgh on a three-year research project to market reviews, health and safety support and design services.
The team has also been strategic advisor on the development of a UK tidal project and undertaken a technical due diligence role for multiple marine clients.
Although still in its infancy in comparison to other renewable energy technologies, the wave and tidal sector has grown substantially in recent years. Research and development, deployment and prototype testing has been ongoing in the last few years to drive knowledge and understanding, which should in turn drive down the cost of wave and tidal energy generation.
