The marine renewable energy industry is bringing increased investment and jobs to Wales and this is demonstrated in a new report from the Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum & Marine Energy Wales.
The new report “Marine Energy in Wales: Investment, Jobs, Supply Chain 2017” highlights the findings of an industry survey carried out by Marine Energy Wales in January. The report finds that there has been an increase in investment into the Welsh marine energy sector of over £23 million since 2015, with current investment totalling £68.3 million. The sector directly supports 137 full time equivalent jobs and 350 person years of employment, 101 more jobs than two years ago.
