EMEC is the world’s first and only centre to provide developers of both wave and tidal energy converters with purpose-built, accredited open-sea testing facilities. \n\nWith 14 grid-connected test berths in close proximity to sheltered waters and harbours, there have been more marine energy converters deployed at EMEC than any other single site in the world. Attracting developers from around the globe, EMEC’s facilities help to prove what is achievable in some of the harshest marine environments.\n\nEMEC also operates scale test sites where smaller scale technologies, supply chain companies, and equipment manufacturers, can gain real sea experience in less challenging conditions than those experienced at the grid-connected wave and tidal test sites. \n\nEMEC operates to relevant test laboratory standards (ISO17025) enabling the Centre to provide independently verified performance reports. The Centre is also accredited to ISO/IEC 17020 and offers independent environmental technology verification (EMEC-ETV) to help innovative technologies reach the market.\n\nWith over 10 years of unprecedented experience, EMEC also offers a range of research and consultancy services, has facilitated the development of international standards for marine energy, and is supporting the development of similar test centres across the globe.\n\nwww.emec.org.uk \nwww.twitter.com/EMEC_Ltd\nwww.facebook.com/europeanmarineenergycentre\n\nEMEC Privacy Policy: www.emec.org.uk/privacy
