The combination of grid-tied Marine Energy test centres and the visibly improved investor interest for marine energy technologies has meant that 2005 saw a leap of activity for those engaged in the design of marine energy converters. Portugal has agreed terms for its first grid-connected wave energy farm with Scotland's OPD. A number of island and coastal nations are awaiting the arrival of working devices on the market. Those countries that offer the best feed in tariffs for electricity derived from marine energy are proving most attractive for developers. The issue of grid connection and new interconnectors is likely to prove an important factor in where the early marine energy developments will be located.
