HARNESSING SCOTLAND'S MARINE ENERGY POTENTIAL
SECTION D
NEXT STEPS
95. MEG was established as a short-life working group tasked with reporting to FREDS in accordance with the terms of reference set out at Annex B. This report fulfils that commitment and we are grateful to the membership of the Forum for their agreement to publish our conclusions and recommendations. We recognise that the Action Plan we have proposed (at Section C) sets a number of challenges for Government, the enterprise agencies, academic bodies and the marine energy industry itself. We believe that it is for FREDS to decide how it wishes to co-ordinate the implementation of our suggested Action Plan. We would, however, draw particular attention to our recommendations for Creating Market Pull and Reducing Financial Risk and urge that the Scottish Executive and the UK Government act quickly to confirm their willingness to provide the necessary additional financial support for marine energy technologies. The price of delay could be an opportunity lost forever.
