Bydd yr arian hwn yn helpu i ariannu cam nesaf prosiect Marine Power Systems yn Abertawe i greu a lansio dyfais dan y dŵr a fydd yn gallu cynhyrchu ynni glân, fforddiadwy a dibynadwy yng Nghymru ac o amgylch y byd.


Cafodd dyfais WaveSub ei dyfeisio gan Dr Gareth Stockman a Dr Graham Foster, y ddau yn raddedigion o Brifysgol Abertawe a nhw sefydlodd Marine Power Systems yn 2008\.


Gan ddefnyddio technoleg sydd â phatent a ddatblygwyd gan y cwmni, mae'r ddyfais yn gweithredu dan wyneb y dŵr drwy ddal dwysedd pŵer tonnau'r môr.


Yn dilyn profion llwyddiannus ar WaveSub sydd chwarter maint y ddyfais go iawn, bydd y buddsoddiad a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn galluogi'r cwmni i ddatblygu prototeip maint llawn ac yn helpu i baratoi ar gyfer ei lansio yn y farchnad.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Marine Power Systems i helpu i ddatblygu'r dechnoleg hon a'r cydsyniad ar gyfer WaveSub. 


Wrth gyhoeddi'r £12\.8 miliwn o arian yr UE  yn ystod ymweliad â'r cwmni heddiw, dywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Mark Drakeford:



> "Rydyn ni am i Gymru chwarae rhan flaenllaw yn sector ynni'r môr. Mae hynny'n golygu cefnogi datblygwyr o Gymru fel Marine Power Systems; gan barhau i ddenu datblygwyr o bedwar ban byd i Gymru ac allforio ein gwybodaeth, ein technoleg a'n gwasanaethau o gwmpas y byd.
> 
> 
> "Mae WaveSub yn brosiect sy'n torri tir newydd ac mae'r buddsoddiad hwn yn galluogi'r cwmni i gymryd cam mawr ymlaen i gyflawni'r nodau hyn. Dyma newyddion ardderchog i ddiwydiant ynni'r môr yng Nghymru".


Yn ogystal ag arian yr UE, bydd cam nesaf y prosiect yn cael ei ariannu drwy gyfle buddsoddi £5\.5 miliwn, i'w ddarparu gan Marine Power Systems dros y misoedd nesaf.


Dywedodd Dr Gareth Stockman, Prif Weithredwr, Marine Power Systems:



> "Mae'n anrhydedd cael £12\.8 miliwn gan yr UE ar gyfer WaveSub a fydd yn cynhyrchu ynni o'r tonnau a hoffwn ddiolch i Lywodraeth Cymru am ei chymorth parhaus a blaengar. 
> 
> 
> "Ar ôl cynnal y profion yn ddiweddar ar ein prototeip llai o faint, mae'r arian hwn yn dyst i'r cynnydd y mae Marine Power Systems wedi'i wneud o ran datblygu WaveSub. Gyda'n tîm talentog o beirannwyr a rhwydwaith o gyflenwyr profiadol yn ein helpu, mae Marine Power Systems yn hyderus y gall arwain y ffordd yn sector ynni'r môr.
> 
> 
> "Rydyn ni'n byw mewn oes y mae ynni adnewyddadwy yn datblygu'n gyflym, a'r hyn sy'n bwysig yw'r ffaith bod y cyhoedd bellach yn ei gefnogi'n frwd. Mae Marine Power Systems yn gyffrous i ddefnyddio'r cymorth ariannol hwn i barhau i ddatblygu'r WaveSub hyd nes ei fod yn barod i'w gyflwyno i'r farchnad. Mae’n gwbl ymrwymedig i gefnogi uchelgais Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau allyriadau digarbon erbyn 2050".


Yn ystod y degawd diwethaf, mae prosiectau sydd wedi cael eu hariannu gan yr UE wedi creu 45,000 o swyddi a 13,400 o fusnesau yng Nghymru, gan roi arian neu gymorth i fwy na 26,000 o fusnesau

The funding will support the next stage of Swansea\-based Marine Power Systems’ project to create and launch an underwater device capable of generating clean, affordable and reliable energy in Wales and around the world.


The WaveSub device is the invention of Swansea University graduates Dr Gareth Stockman and Dr Graham Foster, who founded Marine Power Systems in 2008\.


Drawing on patented technology developed by the company, the device operates under the surface of the sea by capturing the high power density of ocean waves.


Following successful testing of a quarter\-scale WaveSub, today’s investment will allow the company to develop a full\-scale prototype, paving the way for the device to be launched on the market.


The Welsh Government has been working with Marine Power Systems to support the development of this technology and the WaveSub concept. 


Announcing the £12\.8 million EU funding during a visit to the company today, First Minister Mark Drakeford said:



> “We want Wales to be a leading player in the marine energy sector. This means supporting Welsh developers like Marine Power Systems; continuing to attract developers from around the world to Wales and exporting our knowledge, technology and services globally.
> 
> 
> “WaveSub is a pioneering project and today’s investment allows the company to take a major step towards these goals. This is excellent news for the marine energy industry in Wales.”


In addition to EU funding, the next stage of the WaveSub project will also be funded through a £5\.5 million investment opportunity, to be raised by Marine Power Systems over the coming months.


Dr Gareth Stockman, chief executive of Marine Power Systems, said:



> “We are honoured to be awarded this £12\.8 million of EU funding for the WaveSub wave energy generation device and would like to thank the Welsh Government for its continued, forward thinking, support. 
> 
> 
> “Having recently concluded testing on our quarter\-scale prototype WaveSub device, this funding is a solid endorsement of the progress that MPS has made with the WaveSub's development. With our talented team of engineers and a network of highly\-experienced suppliers behind us, MPS is confident it can make great strides as a world leader in the marine energy sector.
> 
> 
> “We live in an era in which renewable energy development is rapidly accelerating and – importantly –the public are now overwhelming in support of. MPS is excited to utilise this £12\.8 million of financial support to continue the development of WaveSub to a point of market\-readiness and remain fully committed to supporting the Welsh Government with its ambition to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050\."


In the last decade, EU\-funded projects have created 48,500 jobs and 13,400 businesses in Wales, assisting more than 26,000 business with funding or support.
