OREG 2009 Spring Event

Bay of Fundy Tidal Energy Forum:

Working Together for Sustainable Success

May 13th and 14th

Annapolis Basin Conference Centre, Nova Scotia

Stakeholder Open House May 12th

Background

Ocean energy has been recognised as a significant renewable energy and economic opportunity to address climate change and regional development. The Atlantic Canada and USA regions are facing similar challenges in pursuing the development of ocean energy while there is little technical, operational or environmental experience to draw on. However, there is significant applicable knowledge within stakeholder communities and regulatory agencies working with other energy and marine industries. Early environmental assessments have provided some baseline information and an understanding of the market development required to move early projects forward is being framed in Europe.

In this meeting we are challenging all stakeholders to look beyond individual projects, technologies or sites, and to focus on how to make the best technical, operational, regulatory and financial decisions for a sustainable success. This Forum is intended to stimulate tangible collaboration in the areas of policy development and regulatory requirements, R&D and deployment, utility and electricity grid requirements, and industrial capacity development.
