Investors Sought for Wave Energy

Wave energy developer Orecon, based in the South West of England, has hit stormy waters. CEO David Crisp said “I thought that after years of struggling for funding we had weathered the worst that the financial markets could throw at us. I was wrong. Earlier this year our venture capital funders withdrew their support, ironically since then we have won through to the final round of the £22m MRPF grant scheme (worth up to £6m), Carbon Trust Ventures have given their support to match fund third party investors and our UK and US patents have been granted. We now find ourselves in urgent need of new investment. Whilst we recognise the difficult economic times it is vital that industry now steps up its involvement, there is a huge commercial opportunity here for someone willing to step in now. We have the design, the site, full government support and a crack team, but time is short. Without investment we will have to close the doors at the end of January.” While the government has been much criticized for failing the marine energy industry through lack of appropriate funding, newly formed DECC has recognized the importance of marine renewables and is rapidly taking steps to remedy the situation. The $36.2m Marine Renewables Proving Fund (MRPF) announced in September this year fills a funding gap that existed for companies wanting to deploy a first prototype
