The
best resource of information for the Wave Energy industry
| Scotland
and Ireland to launch joint renewable energy study |
Scotland
and Ireland are to work together to harness the
power of the wind, the waves and tides between the
two countries from Cork to Kintyre.
A feasibility study into offshore renewable energy
projects, and how the power they generate could
be transmitted to the respective national grids,
is to be conducted by the Scottish Government in
partnership with the Irish government and the Northern
Ireland Executive.
It was announced yesterday that the appropriately
titled Isles project (Irish-Scottish Links on Energy
Study) would be launched later this year. It will
receive almost £1.5m of the £1.6m cost
from Inter-reg, an EU-funded programme that helps
Europe's regions work together on common projects.
The Scottish Government will contribute £130,000.

of the Company's 2008 activities to date and an outlook
for the remainder of the year.

period for Finavera Renewables," commented CEO

is to develop an approximate one gigawatt pipeline
with partners that can provide balance sheet strength.
Our plan is to maintain majority ownership interests
that will provide us with revenues. We have seen significant
interest in our British Columbia and Ireland wind
projects and we are confident we'll be able to enter
into development agreements with partners that will
not result in undue shareholder dilution. We will
be focusing our efforts and resources on our most
valuable assets in order to demonstrate their value

| Anaconda
to Convert Wave Energy into Cheap Power |
LONDON:
Anaconda, an innovative wave energy concept, holds
the key to cheaper energy from the sea waves.
Named after the snake because of its long thin tubular
shape, Anaconda is closed at both ends, filled with
water. It will be submerged below sea level, with
one end facing the oncoming waves.
A wave hitting the end squeezes it and causes a 'bulge
wave' to form inside the tube. As the bulge wave runs
through the tube, the sea wave that caused it runs
along outside the tube, squeezing the tube more and
more, causing the bulge wave to get bigger.
