EU-OEA Mission
|
The EU-OEA unites the broad interests of the European ocean energy industry into a single, focused and independent voice. Together with its regional and industry partners, the EU-OEA and its members address issues of relevance to the industry with decision-makers including regulators, legislators, and policymakers.
The EU-OEA supports a number of initiatives in various areas of interest to the association and its members (e.g. Legislation, Funding, Regulatory, Government Relations), ensuring that members are involved in key legislation concerning ocean energy technologies, and providing EU-OEA members with a voice in important discussions in which they are stakeholders. |

| The EU-OEA invites you to the European Sustainable Energy Week for its joint event with the Scottish Government and Scotland Europa |
The Scottish Government, Scotland Europa and the EU Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA) are pleased to invite you to a seminar exploring real progress in the development of wave and tidal power and the role of ocean energy sources in satisfying the EU’s future energy needs.
The event will examine the EU-OEA's Roadmap for ocean energy, focusing in particular on the practical deployment of marine renewables technology and the issues which need to be tackled to develop the fledgling sector commercially in the EU as we look to a 2050 EU Energy Vision.
The event will conclude with an evening reception and launch of an exhibition of case studies of sustainable energy initiatives from public, private and academic actors in Scotland.

| The financial seminar of the EU-OEA will take place in Brussels, Belgium from 6th to the 7th May 2010 | 
Following the success of the Ocean Power Conference in Lisbon, Green Power Conferences and the European Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA) have joined forces to announce Ocean Energy, the official EU-OEA annual conference. The event will create a networking platform for the ocean energy community, policy makers and potential investors to examine the ocean energy business opportunity. Key highlights of the event will include addresses from the European Commission, major utilities, banks, public & private funds, and a “Dragon’s Den” style face to face meeting with potential investors. Leading experts will address the necessary steps for accelerating industry development, including, policy development, creating industry standards, collaboration between the public and private sectors and the continued development of new and reliable technologies. Delegates will learn from best practice case studies from market pioneers and gain a clear understanding of the current regulatory framework, investment criteria, project development status, grid connectivity issues and the latest technological developments.

New test site DanWEC opened in Denmark, at Hanstholm. - 15/12/09 This site will be the leading Danish test site and should include a number of state of the art wave energy technologies in development. The site is supported by Aalborg University, amongst others, and will be a real opportunity for wave energy in the country and throughout Europe. For more information, visit the website www.danwec.com (in Danish). Aquamarine Power's Oyster officially launched by Scotland's First Minister - Alex Salmond - 20/11/09
The Oyster launch took place at EMEC's Billia Croo site near Stromness, where the device was installed this summer. Scotland's First Minister was on site to switch on Oyster for the first time.
