摘要

Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Chris Huhne February 22 welcomed a £3 million marine renewable energy contract between Edinburgh-based wave energy developer Aquamarine Power and Falmouth-based marine drilling specialists Fugro Seacore (Seacore). The contract is to install the foundation system for Aquamarine Power's next-generation wave energy device, known as Oyster 2, which will be installed in Orkney this summer. "This is good news for the British marine energy sector - from here in Falmouth to Orkney where the Oyster device will be deployed," Mr. Huhne said. Seacore will commence drilling and installation of steel piles for three Oyster devices this summer at Billia Croo near Stromness in Orkney.
