Wave farms? [View all]

I admit, I don't recall hearing about wave farms before today.

I see they've been mentioned at DU a time or two over the last few years, but I'm curious what the view of this is as of today?

Ministers have approved plans for the world's largest commercial wave farm.

Full consent has been given for a 40MW farm off the north-west coast of Lewis - enough to power nearly 30,000 homes.

Wave energy firm Aquamarine Power said it would begin installing its Oyster devices in the next few years, once grid infrastructure is put in place.

Energy giant SSE said last week it would not be able to commission work on a Western Isles subsea electricity cable before 2017.
