TIDAL ENERGY SUPPLY CHAIN OPPORTUNITY: TIGER WEBINAR SERIES

The first of six supply chain seminar events hosted by the TIGER project, a €45m project funded by Interreg France (Channel) England will be held on 9^th July 9.30 – 11.30.

The first event will be focused on subsea cables & connectors and aims to drive cross-sector supply chain capability and innovation into the development of world leading tidal energy projects.

Agenda:

This event will hear from leading tidal energy deployments with presentations from technology developers at the coal face of industrial innovation.

• TIGER & OPIN introductions
• MeyGen– Subsea Cables; Lessons learnt and future arrays – Fraser Johnson O&M Manager
• Orbital Marine Power’s O2: The most powerful, technologically advanced tidal turbine in the world – Mark MacCarthy
• Sabella subsea assets: What we have learnt and future supply chain requirements – Erwann Nicolas, Engineering Manager
• Synaptec’splatform for electrical protection: Subsea asset management – Tom Morley Business development

This event will introduce supply chain to the challenges and opportunities within the tidal and offshore energy sectors.

Q&A sessions will provide attendees the opportunity to engage with leading technology developers and hear about upcoming procurement opportunities and potential R&D collaborations.

In the UK alone, the tidal industry is predicted to generate £1.4bn and 4,OOO jobs by 2030. Worldwide, the ocean energy industry is predicted to be worth £76 billion by 2050, outstripping growth and export potential in most other sectors.

TIGER aims to drive growth in tidal stream energy by installing up to 8 MW of new tidal capacity at sites in and around the Channel region of France and the UK, driving innovation and the development of new products and services.
