Plans revealed for Scotland's first marine energy park

Scotland's first marine energy park is to be created in the north of the country.

Energy from waves will cut emissions, tackle climate change and could generate 27GW of power for the UK by 2050 (enough to power around 20 million homes), according to the UK Government.

The Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters Marine Energy Park will include the already established European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) on Orkney, which tests wave and tidal energy devices with developers from across the world.
