    South-West England will become the world’s largest wave farm and also UK’s first Low Carbon Economic Area under plans to create a new leading centre in wave and tidal technologies. The Wave Hub will provide an area of sea with grid connection and planning consent where arrays and devices can be operated over several years which will eventually be able to generate electricity from the power of the waves and will allow developers to transmit and sell energy to Britain’s electricity distribution grid.


    For an investment of £9.5 million ($15.5 million) for the scheme, the Wave Hub project could create up to 1,800 jobs for the region. This project is part of the Government’s Low Carbon Industrial Strategy which includes a White Paper on The Low Carbon Transition Plan as well as the UK’s Renewable Energy Strategy, the Low Carbon Industrial Strategy and Carbon Reduction Strategy for Transport.
