Wave and tidal energy schemes in Scotland are moving closer to commercialisation. The Wave Energy Scotland project in the Pentland Firth, the world's largest tidal stream development, has started work on turbine assembly. Nova Innovation is installing a third tidal array off Shetland and also developing batteries for renewable-energy storage. Albatern has received almost £260,000 ($337,000) from MayGen for continued development of its WaveNET array off the Isle of Muck. However, the industry also faces challenges in the form of funding mechanisms and uncertainty surrounding the Brexit vote.
