Crown Estate encouraging ocean energy with nine contracts

摘要

The Crown Estate has awarded nine contracts for the development of renewable energy sources, including wave and tidal energy sites. The EU is targeting a 20% increase in renewable energies by 2020, prompting the Crown Estate to launch the Further Scottish Leasing (Saltire Prize projects) and Demonstration Leases Round that offers organizations opportunities to license seabed areas within the UK's Renewable Energy Zone.
