Fife and the global marine renewables marketThe World Energy Council estimates the total market potential for wave energy alone to be in excess of 5,000 TWh/year, representing a capital expenditure of over £500 billion.Scotland’s seas encompass up to 25% of the Europe’s tidal power, 10% of its wave power and 25% of its offshore wind resource.
An industry entering CommercialisationThe wave and tidal energy sector in the UK is now entering commercialisation with the potential for strong growth in the sector over the next decade. This has attracted the attention of some of the world’s major energy companies.
Massive opportunities in licensed sites around ScotlandThe UK Crown Estate has licensed almost 40 wave and tidal sites with the vast majority being in Scottish waters. There is now a substantial pipeline of potential capacity, with likely deployment of 100MW to 200MW of devices expected by the end of 2020.
Unparalleled Scottish Government supportWhile the UK government has placed a subsidy cap of 30MW on marine energy production, the Scottish Government has imposed no such limit.
To ensure that Scotland can capitalise on its enviable marine energy resources, the Scottish Government has created an £18 million fund.
The Scottish Government’s commitment to renewables has been further underlined by its target of meeting 100% of Scotland’s electricity demand from renewables by 2020.
Support within FifeCompanies creating jobs in some parts of Fife may be eligible for Tier 2a Regional Selective Assistance grants of up to 35%. Fife holds the only areas within the Edinburgh City Region to benefit from this level of support.
Invest in Fife can help you develop new markets through events and national and international trade fairs and conferences. We are also ready to support companies to diversify into new, related areas of business.
Read more about support for companies locating or expanding in Fife on page 24.

An ideal location for industrial-scale productionFife’s deep-water ports and easily accessed benign coastal conditions are ideal for initial sea testing.
Meanwhile, our industrial complex has all the capabilities required for the commercial development, manufacturing and assembly of demonstration devices trialled at European Testing sites.
See our range of available business locations onpages 8 & 9.
Marine engineering expertiseA wide range of marine, offshore and energy sector specific skills and experience already reside in Fife as a result of the continued presence of major engineering companies.
A strong local supply chain and a range of supporting subcontractors has grown up around them and continues to thrive.
Read more about Fife’s well established engineering supply chain overleaf.
Talent pool and skills baseIn addition to benefiting from an already highly skilled engineering workforce, Fife is within easy reach of all Scotland’s main engineering Universities. All of them contribute to a vibrant renewable energy Knowledge Transfer Network.
For the future, ongoing collaboration between Fife council, industry and education providers ensures we have an ever-strengthening skills base, from apprenticeship schemes to industry backed engineering skills academies.

Pelamis Wave EnergyFollowing successful sea trials of their Fife-built Pelamis 1 wave energy converter, Pelamis Wave Energy is now conducting extended sea trials of Pelamis 2.The Pelamis design uses a series of interconnected steel tubes to convert the undulating motion of waves into electrical power.
Pelamis 1 power units were manufactured at Babcock’s Naval Dockyard in Rosyth, with the tube bodywork fabricated at BiFab in Methil.
Designed for deployment in waters over 50m depth, Pelamis 1 became the world’s first offshore wave energy converter to supply electricity to a national grid when it was connected to the UK grid in 2004.
Pelamis 2 units, owned by EON and by Scottish Power, are now undergoing testing at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney.

Case Study
Aquamarine Power Aquamarine Power’s Oyster 800 device captures energy from near shore waves and uses it to drive an onshore hydroelectric turbine. Burntisland Fabrications (BiFab) employed its many years of expertise in supplying structures to the North Sea Oil & Gas industry to successfully complete the project over several phases.
Oyster 800 is a hinged flap that attaches to the seabed. Wave action moves the flap back and forth against two hydraulic pistons, pushing high-pressure water onshore to drive a turbine. Oyster 800 has been designed to work in wave farms with an array of machines linked to a single onshore power station.
Following the successful trial of Oyster 1 at EMEC in Orkney, BiFab won the contract from Aquamarine power to build Oyster 800. This followed an £11m investment in Aquamarine power from ABB and Scottish and Southern Energy.
Aquamarine Power, with joint-venture partner SSE Renewables, now has full consent to develop a 40MW Oyster Wave Farm off the Butt of Lewis - the world’s largest fully consented wave power site.

3 Tidal Generation LimitedRolls Royce used its engineering know-how to assist with the design and manufacture of Tidal Generation Limited’s (TGL) demonstrator device. TGL’s system is designed to be sited on the seabed in areas with high tidal flow streams. Its simple and efficient design means that it can be deployed or retrieved in a single tidal cycle using small vessels, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
It was assembled and factory tested at Rolls Royce’s Dunfermline plant ahead of installation in the Pentland Firth. The 500 kW turbine completed its test programme having successfully exported 250 MWh of power to the Scottish grid.
Originally Tidal Generation Limited, the company was sold by Rolls-Royce to Alstom in 2013 for £42 million.
Throughout 2013/14 detailed testing and analysis of the 1 MW turbine installed at EMEC in Orkney will continue and lessons learned will be transferred into the final commercial design.

ANDRITZ HYDRO HammerfestHS1000 is a subsea turbine that converts energy from tidal flows.
BiFab was responsible for fabricating the steel lattice support structure (subsea jacket) for the test device installed at EMEC.
Established in 1997 by Norwegian utility company Hammerfest Energi, ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest now has its main offices in Glasgow, Scotland. Its main shareholders are ANDRITZ HYDRO, a leading supplier of systems and equipment for hydro-electric power installations, and Iberdrola, one of the largest utilities in the world and a leader in wind power.
In December 2011 ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest successfully deployed its 1 MW pre-commercial tidal turbine HS1000 destined to validate the technology for the world’s first tidal power array to be installed, among others, in the sites developed by ScottishPower Renewable, the Sound of Islay (10MW) and the Ness of Duncansby (95MW).

4 5FlumillThe Flumill device’s unique design uses helical screws to generate energy from tidal flows.Flumill’s compact, patented design has been tested in Norway and offers simpler assembly, easier installation and lower capex cost than competing devices.
Flumill completed tow testing over two weeks in 2011, and successful EMEC testing (European Marine Energy Centre, Orkney Island) from September 2011 to January 2012.
The device can be installed without the costly heavy-lift vessels needed for other Marine Energy systems and its fast installation time is ideal for tidal areas. The test system at EMEC was successfully sited in only 4 hours from lifting at shore.
The development of Flumill is managed by Energy Project Management (EPM) from their base at the Fife Renewables Innovation Centre. In the autumn of 2012 Enova awarded Flumill NOK 57.5 million (£6.4m) as part funding for a full-scale facility in Rystraumen near Tromsø.
