The Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE) is working to put Wales and Welsh companies at the heart of the UK’s growing marine and offshore renewable energy sectors.
Based at Pembroke Dock, the centre delivers research, development and demonstration activities to support innovation in the Welsh supply chain, accelerating the commercialisation of the wave, tidal and offshore wind sectors by reducing cost of energy.
ORE Catapult’s Wales presence has seen impressive growth over the past five years with the MEECE becoming a multi-project office, embedded in various local clusters. The centre is a multi-million-pound collaboration between ORE Catapult and Welsh universities, funded by the Welsh European Funding Office.
Marine Power Systems
Marine Power Systems (MPS) collaborated with the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult to support the development of their novel floating offshore wind platform.
CGG Environmental Science and Sercel
CGG Environmental Science and Sercel are collaborating with The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult to deploy and demonstrate the performance of a newly developed autonomous monitoring solution for the automated, real-time detection of cetaceans. This technology can be used to support offshore energy project consenting and monitoring.
Anakata and Ventient Energy
ORE Catapult is collaborating with Anakata, Ventient Energy and Swansea University through its Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence (MEECE) on a project that aims to better understand leading edge erosion and its effects on wind turbine performance.
We want to hear from innovative SMEs with ground-breaking technologies and concepts that MEECE can help drive towards commercialisation. We can work across all TRL levels, from basic concepts to pre-production prototypes. Current projects that we are already investigating include:
