How long will the Wave Hub be in place?
The Wave Hub aims to help companies developing new wave energy devices. This is expected to take place over at least ten years until the devices are eventually recognised as being reliable and commercial. After then, it is very possible that potentially new, better designs will emerge. So, Wave Hub may continue in its planned role for 20 – 25 years but this depends very much on how the industry develops over time. Wave Hub’s lease on the seabed is for 25 years.
