The International Tidal Energy Summit is taking place on 27th November 2018, at the Novotel London West, Hammersmith.
EMEC’s John Griffiths is moderating a round table session on the potential for standardising aspects of supply chain activities with the intent of trying to reduce costs for the tidal energy sector.

ABOUT ITES 2018:
With the removal of the CfD ringfence around revenue assigned for tidal energy prospects, the tidal industry is undeniably entering a period of disruption. However, with disruption comes opportunity and profitable commercial-scale projects are still a reality. ITES 2018 brings together industry stakeholders for the collective drive for cost-effectiveness and remain a crucial player in an industry with much potential.
The International Tidal Energy Summit 2018 will bring together both visionaries and leaders who will deliver interactive discussions, roundtables, and workshops aimed at informing business strategies of all stakeholder companies.
