Aquamarine Power Oyster Wave Energy Converter

The REA represents the UK's renewable energy industry and promotes the use of sustainable energy in the UK. The REA's main objective is to secure the best legislative and regulatory framework for expanding renewable energy production in the UK.  Undertaking policy development and providing input to government departments and regulators, the REA are a governing body in the renewable industry.
 
Oyster is currently in the first stage of deployment. The installation jack-up barge ‘Deep Diver' is on site at Billia Croo, Orkney, and the base of the device, known as the Pile Connector Frame (PCF), has been placed on the seabed. Drilling operations are now under way to attach the PCF to the seabed.
