To harness power from sea waves, Europe’s Pelamis project is on. It is a pioneering commercial wave power machine, which is preparing to leave the Western Isles for Portugal. The £6m Pelamis wave energy project, once successful, will eventually generate 2.25 megawatts. And it is enough for 1,500 households!
Four orange-coloured segments for the first of three giant wave energy machines have been completed and are ready for transportation. To provide a total of 12 segments for the project, Ocean Power Delivery has selected Arnish-based Camcal.
