Unlocking North Sea potential
Orkney has been at the heart of marine renewable energy development since its inception.
Developers have chosen Orkney to make the most of the natural assets and innovative drive in the islands. Boasting high winds, strong tides and large waves which can all be harvested to generate electricity, Orkney is the natural choice for clean energy innovation.
The supply chain servicing Orkney’s marine industries has developed as rapidly as the sector has transformed to meet emerging demands. The Orkney Marine Supply Chain possesses a huge amount of knowledge and experience, supporting development of some of the most innovative marine renewable technology.
