The installed capacity of tidal and wave power projects around the world rose from 12 MW in 2016 to 25 MW in 2017, according to the latest Ocean Energy Systems (OES) annual report. In 2016, there were more than 100 offshore wind farms operating worldwide, with a total generating capacity of about 20 GW, up from just over 10 GW in 2015. From Ocean Waves project at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney. while installed wave capacity doubled to 8 MW, led by Wello’s project at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, the OES report said.
