SAE Renewables secures CfD for the world leading MeyGen site

SAE Renewables Limited (LON:SAE) has announced that it has secured a Contract for Difference (CfD) in the latest Allocation Round, 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.
