SAE secures support to deliver more capacity at the world leading MeyGen project

 

SAE is pleased to announce that it has secured a Contract for Difference ("CfD") in the latest Allocation Round ("AR"), for the world leading MeyGen site. These CfD contracts, which guarantee 172 (£/MWh), for 15 years from 31st March 2029, the target commissioning date, will allow SAE to increase the size of the MeyGen 2 development by c.9MW, enabling more clean, home-sourced, predictable energy to be generated at its MeyGen site in Scotland.

 

As previously announced, on 8 September 2023, SAE has already secured contracts for 50MW in AR4 and AR5, and this further success in AR6 will bring the total project under development to 59MW.

 

This next phase is in addition to the 6MW already operational at the site. MeyGen has so far produced 66GWh of energy, more than all other tidal stream sites in the world combined, clearly demonstrating that MeyGen is the world's number one site for tidal stream power.

 

To deliver the 59 MW project, SAE is in advanced discussions with global manufacturing and engineering firms. These non-binding discussions are progressing well, and SAE will provide further updates as and when appropriate.

 

Graham Reid, CEO of SAE Renewables, commented:

 

"The scale and opportunity that MeyGen represents for the industry the supply chain, our stakeholders and the wider United Kingdom, is significant and we will work with all involved to ensure its success."

 

This announcement contains inside information as defined in Article 7 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014, as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended, and has been announced in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of that Regulation.
