🌊 We’re proud to support #MEW2025 – bringing together the people and ideas driving marine energy forward in Wales and beyond. Join the conversation this May in Cardiff. 👇

🌊 The UK Ocean Energy Review 2024 is out! It highlights sector progress & challenges—but innovation can unlock solutions. That’s where @metawales comes in, supporting marine energy tech development. 📖 See our 2024 contributions on page 36 👉 https://t.co/zysAM8QtrQ

As part of our Marine Energy Engagement Plan, we spoke to Rhys and Dylan who are Marine Futures Interns at @morlaisenergy to find out what a day in their life looks like working in the marine renewable energy industry... #marineenergyengagementplan #MEEP #dayinthelife

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from META 🎄✨ As 2024 comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who has supported, partnered, and engaged with us this year. We’re excited to keep pushing boundaries and supporting even more groundbreaking projects in 2025.

Could low-carbon concrete be a viable option for tidal lagoons, floating wind platforms and port and coastal infrastructure in the future? Cardiff University researchers tested over 100 samples at META, exposing them to real-sea conditions. 🔗:

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming @TheCrownEstate to our sites in Pembroke Dock. It was a great opportunity to showcase our collaborative efforts and discuss ways to drive innovation in the marine energy sector here in Wales🤝

⛴️ Quay 1 is at Pembroke Port and is our largest quayside site. 🌅 The seabed consists of mud, with a causeway of rubble and rock on the eastern side. 🌊 The site enjoys calm conditions, with maximum tidal currents of less than 1 knot (0.5m/s) . 🔗: https://t.co/o574O8dMML

Our test sites support a wide range of deployments and devices. Since Spring, we’ve been delighted to support Welsh environmental monitoring organisation PEBL, with three significant deployments at our Dale Roads open water site. Read all about it 👇 https://t.co/4K8qRE7r9c

🌊 East Pickard Bay offers the ideal environment for testing wave devices and floating offshore wind components 📍 It covers an area of 956,634m² and boasts a strong wave resource 🚢 Access is strictly by vessel More info 🔗: https://t.co/8mgHJZ6PN3

The new infrastructure, alongside our 8 META test sites, will provide further facilities and support for developers as they journey through the design, test, build and ultimate deployment of their devices.

Did you know META has now been operational for three years? In that time we've seen numerous deployments and devices tested at our sites, from novel sensors and marine coatings, to a tidal turbine Interested in learning more? Sign up to our newsletter 👇 https://t.co/Rxs5zYZGKv

📢 Wales’ marine renewable energy sector delivered almost £30 million to the Welsh economy during the 2023 / 24 financial year. That’s according to our 2024 State of the Sector Report, published today! 🔗 Read the full report via the following link: https://t.co/SG1YXWqgNk

You may have noticed some exciting activity recently at our Criterion Jetty site 👀 that's because Dolphyn Hydrogen have started sea trials to test key elements of their innovative hydrogen process. Congratulations to all the team, we look forward to sharing more soon!

Getting to Know Our Sites: Criterion Jetty 🌊 Extends to a depth of 18m. 📍 Covers an area of 4800m² (110m x 60m). 🌊 Higher exposure to tidal currents and waves 🚢 No onshore access to the jetty. More info: https://t.co/WO5wFlhMWE

We've been working with Pembrokeshire school pupils hoping to contribute to the pioneering field of marine energy. With help from industry experts and @PembsCollege apprentices using , pupils will get the opportunity to put their innovations to the test at @MetaWales. Stay tuned!

Getting to Know Our Sites: Ferryside👀 🌊 Nearshore of the Irish Sea ferry berthing quay 📍Spans 59 hectares 🌅 Consistently benign metocean conditions ⛴️ well-equipped with pontoons to support testing More info: https://t.co/BxhE89quJu #marineenergytesting

Great to see @PEBL_CIC's recent successful deployment at our Dale Roads site 🙌 PEBL is developing novel remote monitoring systems to improve capabilities in exposed offshore renewable energy (ORE) and aquaculture environments. https://t.co/HClL7cFDW6

Getting to know our sites: Dale Roads 👀 🌊 1 of 3 open water sites we operate 📍 The 450m x 450m site is in a prime location 🌅 Depths range from 9-10m 🧭 The waves at Dale Roads predominantly flow from the South Southwest More info: https://t.co/sr3qCJNJAq #meta #testsite

We recently played host to a fascintating experiment looking at how seaweed grows on different types of material 👀 It was a collaboration with @Beach_Food and @ORECatapult https://t.co/BRij7IGFiC
