Title

Areas of Identified Tidal Stream Resource defining boundary of policy TIDE1 in the East Inshore and East Offshore marine plans

East Marine Plan Policy TIDE1

Abstract

The dataset sets out areas of identified tidal stream resource that could be harnessed in the future for power generation and as such are protected by policy TIDE1 in the East Inshore and East Offshore marine plans. The areas have been identified using the same parameters that defined The Crown Estates Wave and Tidal Key Resource Areas work but are limited to the East inshore and East offshore marine plan areas. The MMO used UKHO bathymetry data filtered to sites of 5m depth and over and the Atlas of UK Renewable Energy Resource with mean spring peak current fitlered to over 1.5metres per second.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Please note that the following limitations apply to this dataset. The results of the study are theoretical estimates potential tidal energy resources that could be developed in the East Inshore and East Offshore plan areas. The thresholds used to define areas are based on industry estimates. It is important to understand that the areas identified did not take into account existing sea uses, sensitivities or environmental factors which are likely to constrain deployments to smaller areas of seabed in practice. This is not because such factors are unimportant, but since at the industrys present stage of development, it is difficult to quantify these constraints. This data should be considered alongside policy TIDE1 in the marine plan for the East Inshore and East Offshore plan areas. More information on limitations and thresholds are available through The Crown Estate website.
