nected. However, there are number of 
projects announced to be deployed the 
near future. With one exception they 
have in common that they have been 
allocated large grants from public sour-
ces. As full-scale demonstrations needs 
substantial investments with uncertain 
returns a high degree of public funding 
at this stage is more or less a necessity. 
However, public funding sources are 
not inexhaustible and there is a pos-
sibility that the gap between developers 
will increase depending on who has 
received funding or not. Furthermore, it 
will be very important for the selected 
developers to be sufficiently successful 
otherwise there is a risk of waning inte-
rest from authorities. 
The following table lists wave power 
devices at full or large scale and grid 
connected to be deployed 2010-2011.
Looking beyond 2011 plans tend to be 
more tentative, however one project 
merits mentioning. RWE npower plans 
to build a 4MW wave power station 
on the Scottish Island of Siadar to be 
in operation 2012. It will consist of 40 
100 kW Wavegen turbines incorporated 
in a newly built breakwater.
