The installation, located at the European Marine Energy Centre’s Billia Croo test site, will be made up of three 800kW machines. It will be the UK's first grid-connected nearshore wave-power array.
Aquamarine chief executive Martin McAdam calls the go-ahead “vital” to the future of the UK’s marine energy sector.
“A clear pathway to all the necessary permits for marine energy development is one of the critical enablers for a business such as ours, and countries which lack a transparent and timely system will fall behind,” McAdam says.
