Project Experience Wave Hub – The World’s Largest Wave Energy Test Centre Wave Hub is a major marine renewables infra-structure project, 10 miles off the north coast of Cornwall in South West England. Developed by the South West RDA (Regional Development Agency), Wave Hub is the world’s largest offshore wave energy test centre. Once connected Wave Hub will provide Wave Energy Converter (WEC) operators opportunities to test an array of full scale wave energy devices over several years in a realistic, fully monitored marine environment. Wave Hub is essentially creating an ‘electrical socket’ on the seabed, connecting Wave Energy Converter (WEC) devices to the local power grid in North Cornwall. The power grid connection is via a subsea cable, with an initial capacity of 20MW. There is th
