Greenpeace today announced a unique collaboration with Scottish wave power companies to promote and maintain Scotland's place as a world leader in wave power. The announcement was made on board the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, which is on a 3-day visit to Glasgow to highlight the Scottish wave industry. Scotland already has the world's most innovative wave power companies, one of the world's best wave climates and some of the world's leading wave research scientists.
Greenpeace is helping Inverness based company Wavegen and Edinburgh based Ocean Power Delivery, to lobby for the greater uptake of wave energy. Wavegen is installing the first commercial wave machine, the 'Limpet', on Islay this summer and Ocean Power Delivery is installing the first 'Pelamis' or sea snake on Islay in 2001.
