    This paper describes the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) wave and tidal test facility, which has been established in Orkney to assist and hasten the development of the wave and tidal stream energy conversion industries. The facilities include both infrastructure and a number of soft provisions, or services, which are described. After a brief overview section on the theory of wave and tidal energy assessment and extraction, the wave and tidal resources available at the EMEC test sites are summarised. Finally, there is an update on the uptake of the facilities by developers, at the time of writing.
