Scottish Power Renewables - Islay tidal array
Proposed to deploy a 10MW array of 10 turbines, close to Port Askaig. The array was planed to be connected to the electricity grid on the island of Jura.

MCT Kylerhea
MCT also planed to develop an array in the Kylerhea Narrows between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish Mainland.

= Draft for List of Wave Power = text merged from both pages, but will leave a merge proposal first

Energen Wave Power
The Energen device was a concept for a near-shore attenuator. It consists of a series of semi-submerged cylindrical pivoting torque tubes connected to two large cylindrical pontoons. The wave-induced movement of these torque tubes is resisted by a hydraulic system which pumps high pressure oil through hydraulic motors. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity.

A 50th scale model has been tested at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Using actual wave data off the South African coast it was estimated that a single device would produce 1.4 MW of power, or 979 GWh of electricity per annum.

A 2019 review of wave energy companies listed the development stage as closed.
