Open water sites 

Accessible, non- grid connected, real-sea testing

The Test Sites

We operate three open water test sites, each providing accessible, non-grid connected, real- sea testing.

The sites are all located within or adjacent to the Milford Haven waterway, allowing you to test quickly and cheaply.

META provides a stepping stone from tank testing to commercial projects and supports ambitions for the UK to continue to be a global leader in marine renewable energy production.
