The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is a national facility for looking after and distributing data concerning the marine environment. It is part of the UKs National Oceanography Centre.

Spatial and other data about the management of Scotland's sea-bed, including for wind and marine energy and for carbon capture and storage. The data licence is unclear. We recommend contacting Crown Estate Scotland if you wish to re-use data made available by them.

DUKES is an extensive collections of tables, charts and commentary with separate sections on coal, petroleum, gas, electricity, renewables and combined heat and power, providing a comprehensive picture of energy production and use over the last five years, with key series taken back to 1970. 2013 to date are online here, while older data is available at the National Archive. NB There is a pdf containing an useful index to the archived data. This is a series of PDF files, also available as printed booklets. The tables can be downloaded to Excel.

MEDIN is public-private alliance to provide a marine environmental data centre. Dataset metadata can be searched by keyword or interactive map using the data discovery portal, providing a federated search across other data repositories. Searches can also be done by themes via the reference layers. Data can also be lodged in MEDIN with standardised metadata Some datasets may have restrictions on access and use.

The Marine Data Exchange provides access to survey data and reports collated during the planning, building and operating of offshore renewable energy projects. There are two divisions: Wind and Aggregates. Wind consists of raw, cleaned and modelled wind datasets from various meteorological masts, LiDAR systems and meteorological buoys around the UK. Aggregates includes Marine ALSF Regional Environmental Characterisation Surveys (RECs). Can be searched by data type, industry, round, date range, topics and a selection of predefined keywords, interactive map and then further refined by keyword. Includes COWRIE (Collaborative Offshore Wind Research into the Environment). Registration is not required, but gives access to additional resources, including posting notices of datasets wanted.Definitions are at http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/data-requirements.aspxWhen downloading data, it looks as though you are buying it because your choice goes into your basket, but in fact there is no charge. You enter your email address and a link to download the data is mailed to you within the next five days; there may also be a short usage feedback survey.

GIS map of all known wave and tidal energy installations in the world. Annual detailed reports per country are also available for the 29 member countries. The Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement (OES) is an intergovernmental collaboration between countries, operating under the framework of the International Energy Agency (IEA). PDF Annual reports for previous years along with the global report are available in the Library section of the site.

POD (Platform for Operational Data) from ORE (Offshore Renewable Energy) Catapult allows requests for data sets arising from ORE Catapult and partners' innovation projects and operational assets. Includes demonstration turbine data, system performance analysis and floating turbine design cases. Samples of each data collection are available to view. There is a small charge to cover the data retrieval, depending on the size or complexity of the request, and this will be calculated after the request has been made.

The Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) and the Heat Networks Planning Database are updated and published every quarter. The Renewable Energy Planning Database tracks the progress of renewable electricity and heat networks projects. The Heat Networks Planning Database covers district as well as communal heat network projects. The Renewable Energy Planning Database tracks the progress of renewable electricity and heat networks projects. It provides as accurate and comprehensive a snapshot as possible of projects in both areas, and of progress across the technology sectors.The Heat Networks Planning Database covers district as well as communal heat network projects.It aims to provide a more complete picture of heat network deployment across the UK.
The databases are: updated during the month following the end of each quarter; and are provided in 2 separate CSV files, and on separate worksheets within a single XLSX file.

Geographic data of the Crown Estate's offshore leasing to renewable energy and other users. Terms of use are available on the website. They do not include re-use.

Data arising from multiple measurement campaigns comprising primarily velocimetry conducted at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Tidal Test Site during the ReDAPT Tidal Project. Data arising from multiple measurement campaigns comprising primarily velocimetry conducted at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Tidal Test Site during the ReDAPT Tidal Project. These campaigns consisted of both stand-alone seabed mounted Acoustic Doppler Profiling and Tidal Energy Converter (TEC) mounted Acoustic Doppler Profiling. Multiple instrument configurations were used across multiple seasons between June 2011 and October 2014. The data was used for resource characterisation and the validation of multiple numerical modelling techniques used in the Tidal Industry. Data is provided in MATLAB v7.3 .mat files and has also been converted to NETCDF. There is a project www at <a href="http://www.eti.co.uk/programmes/marine/redapt">http://www.eti.co.uk/programmes/marine/redapt</a>.

The Knowledge Network is a web-based system which facilitates data exchange in the emerging wave and tidal energy industry. The Knowledge Network contains more than 2000 resources on a range of topics relevant to wave and tidal energy. The resources are of a variety of types, including reports and datasets. The Crown Estate originally developed the Knowledge Network in line with its strategic objective to support growth of the wave and tidal industry and in partnership with the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The WTKN is now managed by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. It is a searchable database containing a wide range of information available to download free of charge and also provides links to information held elsewhere, which may be available on a commercial basis.
