The RenewableUK Wave and Tidal Conference 2012 aims to explore the primary challenges facing the industry as well as highlighting the opportunities that exist for involvement in the wave and tidal energy sectors. The challenges include identifying funding and incentives that will encourage utilities and equipment manufacturers to deliver the “world’s first marine energy arrays” in the near future. Two pre-conference workshops will also take place on 14 March 2012, one on Unique Challenges of Site Characterisation in Wave and Tidal Projects, and another on How to Develop a Cost Effective Tidal Energy Array – Addressing the Design, Engineering and Installation Challenges.
