Global wave and tidal stream energy production surges tenfold

17.03.2020

Global wave and tidal stream energy production has risen tenfold over the last decade, according to a report issued today by a leading ocean energy organisation.

Ocean Energy Systems (OES) annual report shows cumulative energy produced from wave and tidal stream sources surged from less than 5GWh in 2009 to 45GWh in 2019.

Numerous other wave and tidal stream devices have been deployed in open-sea waters for testing, while further ‘push and pull’ mechanisms are stimulating the ocean energy sector in various regions of the world.
