The government is to invest more than £10million in new research and development to help demonstrate that wave and tidal energy can be generated at scale, and with lower energy production costs.
 The Marine Energy – Supporting Array Technologies competition for collaborative R&D funding will support the applied research, experimental development and demonstration of innovative technologies that solve common issues faced by those developing and deploying the first marine energy arrays.
Funding will come from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB), Scottish Enterprise and the Natural Environment Research Council.
According to the TSB, proposals will be sought that address themes such as tidal array cabling; subsea electrical hubs; installation and maintenance vessels for tidal arrays; navigation and collision avoidance and anti-fouling & corrosion.
The competition opens on 5 March 2012, with the deadline for registration at noon on 10 April 2012. The deadline for expressions of interest is at noon on 17 April 2012.
