Cheeky Wavegen aiming for the Saltire Prize?


In a press release in late July (here), Wavegen announced the "official start" of a 100 kW turbine at the Islay LIMPET site.

The odd thing is that the LIMPET has been operational since 2000, with turbines of more than 100 kW installed in the past. It's not clear to us how this is really news, although there is some limited discussion of "new breakwater turbines" being tested. Is this just Wavegen seeking to position itself as a contender for the Saltire Prize?
