'Sea power could provide 20% of UK electricity'

Britain could establish a global lead in harnessing marine energy if it is prepared to invest.
It finds that wave and tidal energy could in the long term become as competitively priced as conventionally generated power. If the industry took off it would also significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the study predicts. The report by the trust - an independent company set up by the government to help the UK meet its climate change obligations - examines the marine energy sector's future costs and potential for growth. It says that power generated by the sea could provide 3% of the UK's total electricity supply by 2020.
