Total capacity in the UK is currently 1.25 megawatts from two separate wave devices. The first of these is the LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer), a 500 kilowatt shoreline oscillating water column on the Scottish island of Islay. The second, the 750 kilowatt Pelamis Sea Snake, is an example of a hinged contour device. It is the first deep-water trial connected to the National Grid and is currently being tested at the European Marine Energy Centre in Scotland.
