The company will fulfill the engineering, procurement, integration and construction (EPC) needs of wave power and tidal stream projects on behalf of utility clients. As a technology neutral player, Nautimus will work with technology developers, such as Pelamis Wave Power (PWP), delivering schemes to the final owner, such as Vattenfall.
The partnership has been established to address the absence of EPC services players in the ocean energy sector capable of handling the wide ranging challenges associated with constructing projects with new technology offshore. The gap, if unfilled, would pose a significant problem for the sector if, as expected, ocean energy schemes are deployed in increasing numbers before 2020.
Nautimus’ first client is likely to be Aegir, Vattenfall’s 10MW wave farm with PWP planned for construction from 2016 off Shetland, if the project secures the necessary consents....
