Ocean Renewable Energy Conference
EMEC’s Technical Manager, Elaine Buck, will be attending the 12th annual Ocean Renewable Energy Conference on 13th-14th September 2017 in Portland, Oregon.
The conference provides attendees a forum to share new ideas and concepts, opportunity to learn from leading-edge practitioners and policy-makers, information about new research, results, and thinking, and the chance to network with industry leaders and experts from utilities, supply chain, investor, government, and academia. No conference does a better job of bridging national policies and regional implementation, with a real-world focus on accelerating project development.
NOT TO BE MISSED:
Thursday 14 September 2017 – 9.30am – 10.45am: PMEC SETS: Making the Most of a Regional Asset
Marine Hydrokinetic Track
The Pacific Marine Energy Center’s South Energy Test Site should be operational by 2020. Once complete, this facility will be an anchor asset for the region, attract wave energy companies to build, transport, deploy, operate, and decommission their respective technologies. The European Marine Energy Centre has been operational for several years, and represents a model that PMEC SETS and the Pacific Northwest can emulate. This panel will discuss PMEC SETS and how we can make the most of this opportunity.
