Aquamarine Power
Aquamarine Power’s Oyster wave power technology captures energy in nearshore waves and converts it into clean sustainable electricity. Aquamarine Power received a funding round of £7 million comprising £3m each from major shareholders SSE Venture Capital, and ABB, with a further £1m from Scottish Enterprise. The news follows the announcement of a £3.4m loan from Barclays to part-finance the completion of a 2.4MW Oyster array - the first deal of its kind in the sector.
Prior to joining Aquamarine Power, Matt spent 11 years working with Shell International in a number of senior technical and operational roles across Europe. In his previous role at Shell WindEnergy, Matt led major wind power projects in the UK, Netherlands and USA www.aquamarinepower.com
