New Award To Recognise Developments In Marine Renewable Energy
The Scottish Government has launched the Saltire Prize Green Energy Award to recognise outstanding contributions in the development of wave and tidal power.
The Saltire Prize is a £10 million fund provided by the Scottish Government to reward significant innovation in marine renewable energy technology. It is the world's largest single prize for advancement of renewable marine energy, aimed at developing the innovative technologies required to capitalise on Scotland's significant reserves of potential renewable marine energy.
The Saltire Prize Green Energy Award is a new annual award to recognise valuable achievements made by individuals and organisations competing for the Saltire Prize.
The inaugural Green Energy Award will be presented at the Scottish Renewables annual conference in March 2011.
The Saltire Prize, Scotland's £10 million challenge to accelerate the commercial development of marine energy, is now open for applications.
£10 million will be awarded to the team that can demonstrate in Scottish waters, a commercially viable wave or tidal stream energy technology that achieves the greatest volume of electrical output over the set minimum hurdle of 100GWh over a continuous 2 year period using only the power of the sea.
