Vol. 482 No. 6

Written Answers. - Wave Energy.

Derek McDowell

Question:

53 Mr. McDowell asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the progress, if any, which has been made in developing a wave to energy facility; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18977/97]

In the ongoing third Alternative Energy Requirement Competition a separate wave energy category has been included. The competition is being conducted on my behalf by an independent agency — ETSU.

In the circumstances, I am not in a position to give details of progress except to say that the competition is at the technical evaluation stage and I understand that all technology categories have been well subscribed.

The AER III competition should be concluded in early 1998.
