The Atlantic Wavepower Partnership has withdrawn from the Wave Energy Prize competition.
The prize is a competition sponsored by the US Department of Energy’s water power program and is designed to increase the diversification of wave energy converter platforms.
AWS was shortlisted for the prize in July, but gave no reason for the withdrawal
It said: “We would like to thank the DoE for sponsoring the WEP as a means to advance the ocean wave renewable energy technologies.
“We are grateful to the prize administration team and the staff of our testing facility for supporting us in the competition. We wish all the remaining teams the best of luck.”
