The South West Marine Energy Park partnership has set out its ambitions for the region to 2030.

A paper states that demonstration arrays at Wave Hub are expected to lead to the first commercial wave farms by 2025 with 300MW to 500MW operational in the region by 2030, rising to 1GW to 2GW in the following decade.

Pilot tidal stream arrays at the North Devon Demonstration Zone and sites in the Bristol Channel and off Portland are expected to lead to 100MW to 200MW of capacity by 2030 while there is potential for two tidal range lagoons off Somerset totalling up to 4GW.
