While tidal power feasibility studies reaching positive conclusions can be traced back to the 1920s, the United Kingdom has all but abandoned the early lead established in 2003 with the foundation of the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
This organisation pushed forward the development of a relatively large number of prototype tidal energy designs by providing real-world testing situations.
However several promising projects have lost government backing in recent years. According to Minesto’s CEO, Martin Edlund, “the UK is making a huge mistake”. He is someone who is certainly entitled to comment with his company sinking £25m in groundbreaking tidal power technology to effectively exploit water currents off the Welsh coastline. Link
