Inyanga Marine Energy Group has today announced the winners of contracts to build its HydroWing tidal energy array - Hutchinson Engineering has already been announced as the company which will fabricate the foundation and rear nacelle.
The 20 MW HydroWing tidal energy array will be deployed at Morlais off Anglesey in Wales, one of the largest consented tidal energy projects in Europe. The demonstration pilot will deploy in the first quarter of 2026.
Further contract winners announced today are:
- PPI Engineering - design and manufacture of the generator and generator housing. The bespoke generator has been optimised to ensure efficient power generation.
- RMSpumptools- development of a bespoke 11KV Wet-Mate Connector System which provides a robust and reliable connection utilising proven technology.
- Involution Technologies- design and manufacture of main shaft unit incorporating 3:1 gearbox.
- Iconsys- systems integration for power management.
- Eire Composites- manufacture of carbon fibre blades.
- Prysmian- manufacture of export cables.
Richard Parkinson, CEO of Inyanga Marine Energy Group, said:
“Each of our contracts were awarded following a rigorous tender process. The winning contractors are all best in class and have proven themselves as capable of delivering advanced technology at the cutting edge. The majority are based in the UK. Our patented HydroWing technology is set to demonstrate the viability of tidal energy and establish Wales and the UK as a global leader in renewable energy.”
The project will take place at Morlais off Anglesey in Wales, which is the only tidal energy demonstration zone of its kind in the world. It offers a unique ‘plug and play’ model for developers of tidal energy devices, helping reduce costs as they scale up operations. The Anglesey site has the potential to generate 240 MW of clean electricity. The Morlais site is Europe’s largest consented tidal energy scheme, with the potential to generate up to 240MW of low carbon clean electricity.
Morlais provides the necessary infrastructure in the zone, including a connection to the national grid and substations on the shore. It rents berths to various turbine development companies so they can use tidal energy to generate electricity.
The Group have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Verdant Morlais Ltd to deliver a further 4.9MW Tidal Stream Energy project at Morlais.
In May 2025, the Welsh Government announced a £2 million equity investment in Inyanga Marine Energy Group, reinforcing Wales’ commitment to renewable energy development.
