Graham Bell Associates Ezine Online April 2010

1.2Gbyte of Ocean Power announced.

This newsletter brings you a summary of this most important announcement.  We are impressed by the speed with which the Crown Estate (as Licensor) the Scottish Government (as catalyst) and the operators (as Licencees) have managed to agree on this programme.  The potential rewards for Scotland’s internal energy security and the potential for developing services and products for export are enormous. We are ourselves on the verge of agreeing a major contract to advance our understanding of existing and potential renewable opportunities.  All of which bodes well for Scotland’s definite sunrise industry.

Special congratulations to

Edinburgh Wave Power company Pelamis, who are behind the kit to be installed at three sites:

Marwick Head.

West Orkney South.

Armadale. 

Pelamis may be looking for (pardon the pun) an early flotation!
