Marine<br />

Figure 2.6.6 shows the current contracted position<br />

for marine (wave and tidal generation) against the<br />

requirement for marine generation under each of<br />

the three scenarios over the period to 2032.<br />

In the Gone Green scenario the level of marine<br />

generation capacity required in 2020, if the<br />

scenario is to be met, is 20 MW. The current<br />

level of marine generation capacity that is<br />

either existing or under construction is 7 MW,<br />

therefore leaving a total of 13 MW (of the 2 GW<br />

that is contracted with a signed connection<br />

agreement and completion date before 2020) to<br />

be connected to the transmission system by this<br />

point. By the end of the period the Gone Green<br />

scenario shows a marine generating capacity of<br />

around 1.3 GW.<br />

In Slow Progression, marine is assumed to<br />

develop very slowly due to high costs, with<br />

minimal deployment by 2030.<br />

In Accelerated Growth, there is a stronger build<br />
