ORE Outlook 2040
This report emphasises the urgent need for a new approach to ensure the ORE sector can fulfil its critical role in our energy system. To meet the 2050 Net Zero targets, the UK must significantly accelerate ORE development. Current project timelines are too slow and immediate solutions are needed to upscale and optimise ORE systems and technologies.

What are the UK power system benefits from deployments of wave and tidal stream generation?
This study quantifies the potential power system benefits that the UK stands to gain through the deployment of marine energy technologies (wave and tidal stream) in domestic waters. These system benefits are primarily due to the temporal and spatial offsetting of wave and tidal resource with other, more established variable renewables, such as wind and solar.
