Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith (Ken Skates): Tidal Energy Ltd (TEL) went into administration on 17 October 2016. Begbies Traynor, the administrator for TEL, is actively seeking a buyer for the company. The Welsh Government is working closely with the administrator to support its search for a buyer, providing them with introductions to possible investors and companies with an interest in the marine energy sector. The Welsh Governmentwill also provide ReAct support to the 4 employees of the company affected by the news. All of the company's employees are currently being retained by the administrator as this will assist the trade sale process
If a buyer for the company can not be found, the company have informed us that there are a number of marine technology companies who have an interest in purchasing their assets, including the Ramsey Sound test site. The Welsh Government will support the administrator's search to ensure assets are used for the benefit of the marine industry in Wales. This will be through Welsh Government established networks in the marine energy industry including academia and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult centre.
TEL was supported with EU Structural Funds 2007–2014 of £7.99 million to develop, build, deploy and test a tidal energy device called Deltasteam, in a real environment. The Welsh Government also invested £49,000 through its SMARTCymru Research, Development and Innovation funding scheme to support the design of a removable nacelle.
The scheme fulfilled its objective with the successful deployment of the 0.5MW device off Ramsay Sound, Pembrokeshire in December 2015. The device was connected to the grid network and produced electricity from the ocean, being a key milestone for the company and the development of tidal marine technology.
The demonstration phases also supported learning for the marine renewable energy industry by providing opportunities to stakeholders and regulators to better understand how the local environment of Pembrokeshire can accommodate marine energy renewables. It also supported learning in the local supply chain, building up workforce expertise in preparation for the increase in demand for marine renewable energy that is now emerging
