Ocean Energy: Progress Towards Development in Oregon
Two key efforts are underway that underpin Oregon's efforts to promote the development of wave energy. First is the completion of Oregon's Territorial Sea Plan (TSP) in early 2013. Second is the NNMREC in-water test site launched in 2012 and USDOE award of $4 million to fund phase two development of a full scale, grid-connected ocean energy demonstration center that can accommodate multiple devices of various technology types and scales. Oregon's Wave Energy Trust will present how balancing stakeholders and industry are key determinants for site quality and usability, as well as how they bridged the gap between R&D efforts and commercial development with the fishing industry and others.
