Consultation: AWS decommissioning programme
AWS Ocean Energy is undertaking a project funded by Wave Energy Scotland (WES) through its Novel WEC Programme to build and test at sea a nominally 1/2-scale prototype Archimedes Waveswing wave energy converter (WEC).
Testing of the device is planned to commence at EMEC’s Scapa Flow test site, Orkney in July 2021.
AWS Ocean Energy have therefore requested consent from the regulator, Marine Scotland, to deploy and test the 1/2 scale device. As part of the consenting process, a Decommissioning Programme must be produced and consulted on under the Energy Act 2004. EMEC has opened up a consultation on the 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 28 June 2021.
