The EMEC is the only accredited wave and tidal test centre for marine renewable energy in the world.  The turbine the Duke and Duchess visited will become the most powerful on the planet, capable of meeting the electricity demand of up to 2,000 UK homes. The work of the EMEC aligns with the aims of The Royal Foundation's Earthshot Prize to help repair the environment over the next decade.
