Consultation: Magallanes Decommissioning Programme

Magallanes Renovables first deployed their 2 MW ATIR platform at EMEC’s Fall of Warness tidal test site in February 2019, as part of the Horizon 2020 Ocean_2G project. Through a structured programme of testing, the tidal energy device first exported electricity to the UK national grid in March 2019. Magallanes have since secured further support through the Horizon 2020 MaRINET2 programme and therefore have requested consent from the regulator, Marine Scotland, to extend their testing schedule at EMEC.

The update to the testing schedule has resulted in a revised programme for the eventual decommissioning of the ATIR platform. Adhering to the Energy Act 2004, EMEC has opened a consultation on the revised Decommissioning Programme and would like to invite stakeholders and members of the public to provide responses including any concerns, via email info@emec.org.uk or phone +44 (0)1856 852060.

Please provide responses by 5pm Tuesday 9th June 2020.

All received consultation responses will be supplied to the regulator and considered during the decommissioning programme determination and approval process executed by Marine Scotland, on behalf of Scottish Ministers.
