Discover the content of the session: "Installation, operation and maintenance of tidal turbines in commercial projects: how can the transport and logistics supply chain contribute to a reduced cost of tidal energy production"

In the context of European Union climate and energy targets for 2030 and an increasingly tense global energy context the development and industrialisation of renewable energy sectors has become more urgent. Lowering the Cost of Energy (LCOE) is one of the major objectives of the tidal energy sector today to put it on a level footing with other energies in the future.

So what will commercial projects in the tidal sector look like in 2030? Will a transition from individual pilot projects to larger arrays will bring its own economies of scale? And how can transport contribute to the reduction of the cost in this horizon?

During the workshop, site developers, logistics providers and transporters will give us their views on future trends and expectations, suggest where possible costs reductions may come from and flag up the challenges that the sector will face.

Speakers will include TIGER project partners Morbihan Hydro Energies, Sabella and Normandie Hydroliennes, Shipping and logistics provider Inyanga.
