Positives

Good progress is being delivered through sea trials

Major players are starting to enter the market

Government support remains strong in the UK

©2013 Energy Technologies Institute LLP - Subject to notes on page 1

But challenges remain...

Performance and deployment improvements are needed

Further investment in innovation is crucial

Through-life cost reduction must be accelerated

Increased industry knowledge sharing is needed
