The Scottish Government has terminated funding for Wave Energy Scotland (WES), which will run out of money by March 2026. Established in 2014, WES was pivotal in advancing wave energy technology. The funding cut jeopardizes its operations and the EuropeWave programme, which aims to deploy prototype wave devices. The decision may lead to job losses and damage Scotland's reputation in European energy initiatives, undermining the country's ambitions for net-zero and energy security.
