Abstract
This year, the team at Marine Energy Wales have refined how we present our annual State of the Sector report. We have given a renewed focus on the socioeconomic benefits delivered by the Welsh marine renewable energy sector to date and present a range of case studies to bring life to the findings. In addition to presenting the latest figures for the level of investment in Wales, we have also sought to gather and present data in additional areas. Most notably the type of employment being generated by the sector, alongside the projected growth in spending over the next five years. We also cover other sector opportunities outside of Wales and highlight activity from our member network.
