PELAMIS: A DECADE OF WAVE POWER – (Pelamis, Edinburgh, Scotland) Pelamis Wave Power is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the world’s first offshore wave power generated to the national grid. Following installation of the prototype Pelamis machine at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, the first electricity from offshore waves was generated to the UK grid on Sunday 15th August 2004. This was a major achievement for Pelamis and the whole wave energy sector and demonstrated the feasibility and potential of harnessing the power of our ocean waves. In the ten years that have followed that milestone, Pelamis has continued to lead the sector, notched up a string of further world firsts and set new records in electricity generation and operational capability. youtube/watch?v=ziLtIbwFXB8
