Adaptation and Resilience of Coastal Energy Supply
Our project aims to identify the challenges facing the future security of the UK nuclear energy sector and coastal energy supply in the Northwest region as a result of a changing climate.
ARCoES is focusing on developing a decision-support tool that will enable sustainable coastal energy. We aim to identify how coastal power stations, substations and distribution grid can be adapted to future climate change impacts and thus become more resilient.
This cross-disciplinary working and research involves partners and stakeholders from academia, the energy and engineering sectors, planners and coastal managers, interest groups, the third sector and community networks.
Funded by EPSRC through ARCC programme.

We aim to produce an integrated model of the coast that can predict coastal changes for estuaries, gravel beaches, sandy beaches and dunes, and cliffs made up of both hard and soft rock.

ARCoES is made up of an inter-disciplinary team of academics, researchers and practitioners with expertise in environmental and marine science, electrical engineering, the energy sector, GIS and modelling, economy, nuclear industry, government agencies and regulation, planning and management.
-
There are six studentships linked to future adaptation and resilience of coastal (nuclear) energy supply. This is a key aspect of capacity building within the project. Students are based across the various project partners.
