The project, called Katanes, is located off Caithness and Sutherland in the north of Scotland.

 The companies want to develop a commercial-scale project in a staged manner. The initial step will be a demonstrator of up to 3.6 MW wave and 7 MW-8 MW wind power, which will be followed by a stage with an array of up to about 47 MW, Kohler said. According to him, the company's technology "could be in entering construction and be operational on the Katanes site in a 2021-22 timeframe."
