Electricity from wave is estimated to cost seven times as much as coal-fired power, and electricity from tidal stream turbines five times as much. More investment in the marine energy sector will bring down the cost of generation, but investors remain in a cautious mood and many marine technology developers are cash-strapped. The cost differential is expected to shrink as marine energy continues to crawl towards commercialising its technologies and achieving economies of scale in manufacturing. Bloomberg New Energy Finance supports companies as they build their business across the marine energy industry through our range of insight, data and news services.
