WICO (Wind of the Coast) Project Overview
Marine South East is working with partners from Italy and Spain to share knowledge and experience of the deployment of small wind energy systems along coastlines.
Coastal areas offer a wide range of opportunities to produce wind, current and tidal renewable energy, WICO partners have identifies small wind systems as suitable for integration along the coast to exploit the presence of on-shore and off-shore winds.
The WICO project will produce guidelines to facilitate the development of policies to enable faster and wider deployment of small-scale renewable energy systems. Engagement with policy makers and organisations with planning responsibilities will be vital to the project.
The project aims to develop tools to share technical information on these new generation systems and the knowledge required to overcome barriers to their use.
