A marine renewable energy company planning to test tidal power in Pembrokeshire has announced a programme of public appearances to showcase its green energy project.
Tidal Energy Ltd – which is proposing a temporary year-long test of its DeltaStream technology off the St Davids coast – will display its proposals at local events, with representatives from the company available to answer questions about their work in the area.
Martin Murphy, managing director of Tidal Energy, said: “We are looking forward to further engaging with the community at events this year. We were delighted that we had a really positive response from the many local people who came to see us at our public exhibition in March.
“We are thrilled to have received such strong support from the community – it is of great importance to us. We have a passion for Wales’ ownership of the DeltaStream development, from its conception by my Pembrokeshire-based colleague Richard Ayre, to its testing at St Davids.
“We continually endeavour to keep the local people informed of all developments.”
Chris Williams, development director at Tidal Energy, said: “A scale-model of DeltaStream has recently been tested in France. This exercise returned encouraging results, providing information that will optimise the efficiency of the turbine.”
The company is revamping its website, and will exhibit at the Really Wild Festival, St Davids, on September 5th and 6th. They will also be at the Transition Haverfordwest Green Fair on September 19th.
The date of a public exhibition in November is to be announced.
