The Tidal Stream Industry Energiser Project, known as TIGER, is an ambitious 46.8 million euro project, of which 28 million euros (69 percent) comes from the European Regional Development Fund via the Interreg France (Channel) England Programme. The project falls within the funding category for low carbon technologies of the Programme, whose Managing Authority is Norfolk County Council and which co-funds collaborative projects between organisations in the south of the UK and north of France. It aims to drive the growth of tidal stream energy by installing up to 8 MW of new tidal capacity at sites in and around the Channel region thus driving innovation and the development of new products and services.
