The world's first commercial wave power station on the Hebridean island of Islay has successfully begun to feed electricity into the UK's national grid. The station, known as LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer), began supplying the island's grid with 500 Kilowatts, enough to supply about 400 homes, on 20 November.
