The company, which was recently given the go-ahead by Scottish authorities to deploy a first three-machine, grid-connected array of its Oyster 800s at the European Marine Energy Centre, was last May granted a lease for an area of the seabed off the Isle of Lewis, which is calculated to have a potential installed capacity of 40MW.
Marine Scotland is mulling Aquamarine’s plan to develop the site with as many as 50 of the wing-like Oyster wave energy converters (WECs).
