Martin McAdam, Chief Executive Officer of Aquamarine Power, commented:

“Raising substantial funds in these exceptionally difficult market conditions is an incredible achievement for Aquamarine. It proves that there is considerable investor appetite for renewable energy companies. Aquamarine has a great team in place with the technological and commercial know-how to take Oyster all the way through to the finishing line. There will be winners and losers along the way as technologies compete for market share and Oyster has all the right ingredients to be one of the winners – an amazing piece of UK engineering which is one of the best wave devices out there. We have a strong shareholder base and our existing investors which include Scottish and Southern Energy and Sigma Capital plc have been extremely supportive of our strategy and the fundraising.”
