The first commercial marine power projects in the UK could be deployed by 2010, it has been announced.

The Pentland Firth, between the Scottish mainland and Orkney, is to be opened up to commercial wind and wave power developments, the Crown Estate confirmed.

The move was welcomed by First Minister Alex Salmond who described the potential of the Firth as "staggering" and the first minister today pledged that the Pentland Firth could become "the Saudi Arabia of marine power" after the Crown Estate approved commercial energy developments on the site.
