Aquatera Project Focus
Operational Support for Pelamis Deployment in Orkney
Pelamis Wave Power, 2003
In 2003, Pelamis Wave Power (PWP; formerly Ocean Power Delivery) selected the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, as the location for trialling its prototype Pelamis Wave Energy Converter device.
Since then, the company was keen to develop strong links with local companies to provide support for its business. Aquatera teamed up with Scotrenewables, a Stromness-based company with a long-standing collaborative relationship with PWP. Together, Aquatera and Scotrenewables have provided a variety of logistical, light engineering, marine operations, PR and local communications support to PWP during its time in Orkney.
