The
Tidal
Energy
Converter
(TEC)
System
Demonstrator
project,
awarded
by
government-industry
body
the
Energy
Technologies
Institute
(ETI),
will
use
a
“through-life
approach”
to
identify,
develop
and
prove
the
best
routes
to
market
for
tidal-stream
technologies
in
British
waters.
“Reducing
costs
to
levels
comparable
to
other
low-carbon
systems
is
critical
in
accelerating
the
development
and
commercialisation
of
tidal
energy,”
said
Hendry.
“This
is
part
of
a
co-ordinated
programme
of
public
sector
support
to
innovation
in
marine
energy,
which
is
expected
to
exceed
£80m
over
the
next
few
years.”
