Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters - tidal resource - mean spring tidal power density kW/m2

This map layer has been supplied directly by Marine Scotland National Marine Plan interactive. You can obtain additional information about the layer on this page

This layer is part of the dataset taken from the report 'Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters Strategic Area: Marine Energy Resources' funded by The Crown Estate. The report is based on the outputs from a full hydrodynamic wave model and defines the marine renewable energy resource information at a regional scale. The modelling results have produced an enhanced definition of marine renewable energy resource with improvements of spatial resolution, underlying bathymetry and length of data series over that previously available in the Atlas of UK Marine Energy Resources (ABPmer 2008).

This layer displays the Mean Spring Tidal Power Density (mean annual potential power in kWatt m-2 generated by the Spring tidal flow in the PFOW area).
