The newsletter's main article provides an overview of the Talisman Beatrice project, focusing on the challenges involved in delivering the world’s first deepwater wind farm.

There is an accompanying feature with some interesting facts about the project and turbine which, if laid flat, would be the equivalent of one-and-a-half football pitches.

Marine energy enters the limelight with an article about OpenHydro who aim to have Britain’s first grid-connected tidal turbine located at the newly-opened tidal test site operated by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).

In addition, there are further interesting features which focus on the new hydro-electric scheme in Glendoe, a biomass project in Orkney and a ‘Bulb for a Bulb’ scheme which will surprise everyone in spring.
