UK Wave Resource
  • Wave energy densities of over 20kW/m
  • Scotland estimated resource 14GW (46TWh)
  • 10 (4.6TWh) would produce 10 of Scotlands
    demand or 1.5 of UKs

5
UK Tidal Resource
  • Considerable resource with speeds in excess of
    1.5m/s
  • Pentland Firth 3m/s locally with potential 16GW
  • 10 extraction would give over 3TWh
  • Total Scottish resource in excess of 4TWh

DTI Atlas
