After four years of operation, the SELKIE project has reached its conclusion. This collaborative endeavour between two universities and four industry partners aimed to advance the development and deployment of marine renewable energy technologies in Wales and Ireland. In this blog post, we will explore

The closing event was held as a hybrid format with both in- person attendance as well as online. The full agenda included evaluative updates from all 9 work packages that
SELKIE went all out at what will be the project’s last representation at the largest conference dedicated to Marine Energy in the United Kingdom. MEW2023 was held at the impressive Swansea Arena, 21-22 March. This year’s conference was the most attended event by far, with
SELKIE are pleased to announce, we will be holding our final Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) Supply Chain Networking event at the end of February 2023, in Anglesey, (further details above). The last supply chain event was held in Pembrokeshire 2022, which was well received and
Researchers at Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) and University College Cork (UCC) have deployed an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to obtain ocean current data from a location of interest in the Irish Sea. This survey is part of a collaboration between Selkie Work Package
SELKIE work package 4 lead, Ross O’Connell recently had the opportunity to deliver a lecture on the Geographic Information System Techno-Economic calculator tool (GIS T-E). The Selkie GIS T-E is the most up to date GIS tool covering Wales and Ireland, enabling strategic decisions for
Last week, the SELKIE project were delighted to have been involved in the Destination Renewables Session at Pembrokeshire College, ‘An Introduction to Marine Renewable Energy and Floating Offshore Wind’. Destination Renewables is a new pioneering programme preparing students for the future renewables’ jobs market. To
