Global Underwater Hub and the Marine Energy Council are hosting a one-day event focused on marine energy, which will take place on Thursday, 02 October in the event studio at GUH’s office in Westhill, Aberdeen.
Marine Energy 2025 will explore the latest advancements in wave and tidal energy, an area of great opportunity for the UK. During the first part of the day, attendees will gain firsthand insight into new technologies, industry trends and an overview of the market opportunity.
The second part of the day will be a stakeholder engagement event, hosted as part of the Marine Energy Taskforce (MET). This 12-month initiative was launched by the Energy Minister, Michael Shanks MP, in June and will develop a roadmap, accompanied by a series of recommendations for the UK Government. The session is designed to gather the thoughts and opinions of attendees around the four themes that are key to supporting the development of marine energy sector – site development, financing, innovation and supply chain growth.
Tidal stream projects are currently being deployed with over 80% UK supply chain content spend. The MET will seek to set out how UK content can be embedded in projects deployed here and around the world.
Marine Energy 2025 will be chaired by Sue Bartlett-Reed, who has over 20 years of experience in the wind, wave and tidal sectors and is chair of the UK Marine Energy Council. Confirmed speakers include:
- Eileen Linklater, EMEC
- Fraser Johnson, Meygen
- Ian Crossland, Mocean Energy
- Oliver Wragg, Orbital Marine Power
- Tom Hutchinson, Proteus
Booking for this event will close on Thursday, 25 September at 17:00.
