Fantastic news that the @energygovuk 's latest renewable auction could see an additional 50MW of tidal stream projects deployed in UK waters by 2028.

What do these results mean for Britain?
✅The largest offshore windfarm project in Europe – off the Yorkshore coast
✅ The largest floating offshore wind project in the world
✅Six new tidal projects
✅ A combined 115 solar and onshore wind projects

Good to see tidal energy continuing to be recognised for its contribution to our low carbon future. We have a real opportunity here through Morlais to make the most of Ynys Môn’s natural resources in a way that focuses on maximising local benefits/jobs.

We’ve increased our renewables auction budget by over 50% - taking it to a record £1.56 billion.
Another step in ending our reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets, making Britain energy secure and growing a greener, more prosperous economy.

The UK’s Labour government has been praised for increasing the budget by 50% for this year’s Allocation Round 6 renewables auction. renews.biz/94820/ #offshorewind #renewableenergy #UK
Great news today that @energygovuk is increasing the tidal stream ringfence in this year's renewable auction from £10m to £15m.

Thanks @amcarmichaelMP for highlighting #tidalenergy key asks to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. We'd be delighted to welcome @Ed_Miliband @energygovuk to Orkney to see tidal power in action.
Glad to put the potential of tidal stream energy front and centre in questions to the new Net Zero secretary - with an invite for @Ed_Miliband to visit @EMEC_Ltd. We need to set a clear deployment target for tidal stream, and increased ringfenced funding.

As Energy Secretary @KwasiKwarteng demonstrated international leadership by introducing a tidal stream ringfence in the UK's renewable auctions. That was a gamechanger for the industry, putting the UK on course to have over 100MW of deployed capacity by 2028.

The Power of Survivability. Historically, wave energy devices have broken in storms or been too large and costly compared to power output, preventing commercial adoption. This is a picture that @Corpowerocean has dramatically changed by bringing new innovations to wave energy.

Wave power is a fast developing technology with the benefit of co-locating wind- and wave power, creating overall cost benefits to the whole energy system.
UK must realise the potential of #wavepower or other countries take over the UK leadership position @MarineCouncil

It's great to join the Marine Energy roundtable with @MarineCouncil in Parliament.
Tidal stream is reliable, renewable and revolutionary.
The UK is home to the world's 2nd biggest tides.
The government must harness their potential and become a world leader in marine energy.
