Seatricity - Renewable resources for future generations

We have designed, developed and patented what we believe to be the first economically viable, practical and reliable wave energy plant in the world.

Seatricity overcomes the problems encountered by previous attempts at harvesting wave energy in a similar manner.

Our team of passionate marine engineers and energy executives have worked tirelessly over the past four years to create a full working prototype, moving far beyond a conceptual proposal

We look forward to working with government and commercial partners to help secure the world's future energy and fresh water requirements.

Seatricity can be used to directly produce fresh water by the reverse osmosis desalination process and electricity simultaneously.

2013-03-16 Testing Oceanus in one of the world's harshest marine environments.
The high seas and huge waves which battered the west coast of Orkney recently have proved an extreme testing environment for a marine renewable energy company which is based in Stromness.

2013-01-11 Device Deployment
1 Device deployed for “survivability testing” Unique to the industry and other wave devices currently operating we trial tested 1 device in the most difficult conditions. To see full story please see media articles. And storm review. The oceanus coped with wave meter heights of 13m until as anticipated at 15m the device stopped delivery. We now know our parameters for weather conditions.

2012-11-02 Device Removal
The devices were removed for inspections and modifications to the tethers which connect the buoys to the pumps. Some of the actuator floats drifted off station but each was fitted with a satellite base transponder and we were able to immediately inform the coast guard and retrieve the devices. This experience has been invaluable to the next phase of deploymen

2012-10-06 Device Deployment
Utilising expertise gained through fishing industry in Scotland we were able to deploy 6 Oceanus devices for preliminary testing at the EMEC test site (Billia Croo) The devices successfully pumped waters a shore at the appropriate pressures in accordance with expectations.

2012-08-23 Pipeline Deployment
Work is continuing at full pace with the deployment of the main pipeline, extending from our marine site back to our power generation facilities ashore.

2012-08-23 Mooring blocks anchored
With the help of local boat crews and divers, all the planned concrete mooring blocks are now in place on the sea floor in preparation for the deployment of our floats at Seatricity's Billia Croo site.

2012-03-18 Seatricity Scotland Ltd

Seatricity is pleased to announce the opening of Seatricity Scotland Ltd. Bob Tillotson says ‘we have really enjoyed being in Orkney and we look forward to being operational in Scotland for many years ahead as we push on with our wave energy programme.'
