Overview of presentations The consultation included the following presentations: • A presentation by Skye Holcombe Henley of RenewableUK on the key findings of the SI Ocean policy analysis report; • A presentation by Matthew King of DG MARE, European Commission on “Where are we going and how we plan to get there: Uniting the industry behind a common vision up to 2050”; • A presentation by Dr Sian George of the European Ocean Energy Association about the complementarity between the themes of the association’s Vision Paper and the objectives of SI Ocean; • A presentation from Brendan Barry of ESB on how ESB secured NER300 funding for its WestWave project in Ireland and how the company overcome the non-technical barriers that emerged during the process; • A presentation from Lynne Bryceland of Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) on how SPR secured NER300 funding for its Sound of Islay project in Scotland and how the company overcome the non-technical barriers that emerged during the process.

Overview of panel discussions The suite of presentations provided an excellent foundation for two panel discussions which were focused around the following topics: • Panel discussion 1: Where we are now: Strategy for removing the non-technological barriers to industry growth; and • Panel discussion 2: Where we are going and how we plan to get there: Uniting the industry behind a common vision up to 2050 Both discussions were led by panellists composed of key industry figures and two government representatives. Audience members (industry stakeholders) were encouraged to share their views and experiences in dealing with legislative, financial and infrastructure challenges associated with the development and deployment of ocean energy devices, in the effort to identify how industry (and the SI Ocean team) could tackle challenges as part of the project and drive commercialisation.

Consultation discussions were important for: a) gathering knowledge around key barriers to the growth of Europe’s ocean energy industry; b) building industry consensus around how challenges could and should be addressed; and c) promoting the importance of developing an industry strategy for deployment.

The Market Deployment Strategy (MDS) was described to participants as an important piece of work that would aim to unite the many components of Europe’s ocean energy industry behind a common agenda for commercialisation.

Pre-consultation industry survey To ensure consultation discussions were targeted and directly informed by industry concerns and experience, RenewableUK requested that all participants complete a pre-workshop survey, which was hosted on the SI Ocean website. The survey was completed by approximately 65 people prior to the consultation and by a further 20 people following the event. The survey questions and responses are contained at Appendix 2 and have proven an invaluable source of industry insight for all of the SI Ocean work being undertaken by RenewableUK.

Overview of presentations and discussions SESSION 1 Welcome by SI Ocean Advisory Board Chair (Dr. Sian George) Presentation 1: Skye Holcombe Henley - Overview of SI OCEAN policy report: “Ocean Energy in Europe’s Atlantic Arc” Presentation available at http://www.si-ocean.eu/en/News-Events/CHAMP-events/

L-R: Skye Holcombe Henley, RenewableUK; Neil Kermode, EMEC; Tim Hurst, SEGEC.

Key points • • • • •

Overview of SI Ocean project, including brief explanation of deliverables of each work package; Explanation of research process undertaken for policy report; Detailed overview of key policy drivers relevant to development of ocean energy focusing on legislation, financial mechanisms and infrastructure; Description of linkages between the policy report and Market Deployment Strategy; Audience invited to contribute to content of policy report.

Key findings of the policy report Strategy Understanding government energy priorities across the Atlantic Arc (Denmark, France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom) of security of supply; cost efficiency; and GHG emission reductions is important for framing the role of ocean energy as a vital future source of low carbon energy generation.

Level of policy and financial support for developing ocean energy across the Atlantic Arc varies among countries.

Existence/absence of ocean energy action plans indicates strategic initiative/readiness to develop ocean energy as a source of renewable energy and financial commitments demonstrate (in part) political will.

Finance Securing adequate revenue and capital support is a leading obstacle for wave and tidal development in many Atlantic Arc countries. Europe’s debt crisis and resultant national austerity measures have dampened the investment climate for all renewables in Europe.

9

A mix of revenue and capital funding schemes exists across Europe to support and incentivise investment in wave and tidal technologies – to varying degrees of effectiveness.

Infrastructure Discussion of grid infrastructure and required capacity upgrades are dominant themes across the Atlantic Arc. For Member States with more advanced wave and tidal sectors, the extension of grid to remote areas, transmission charging regimes and capacity to absorb renewable electricity generation are viewed as higher priorities than in some other jurisdictions.

The extent to which governments are considering or planning for the infrastructure challenges that the commercialisation of wave and tidal devices will present varies greatly.

Legislation Common theme across jurisdictions - responsibility for marine consenting is spread across numerous government agencies. The division of responsibility results in confused management processes and delays, which impacts on investor confidence.

A number of Member States are in the process of amending/reforming relevant legislation to improve regulatory conditions for wave and tidal projects.

Presentation 2: Matthew King, European Commission, DG MARE – Where are we going and how we plan to get there: Uniting the industry behind a common vision up to 2050 Presentation available at http://www.si-ocean.eu/en/News-Events/CHAMP-events/

Matthew King, DG MARE, European Commission

Key points Ocean energy major focal point of the Blue Growth Communication of September 2012.

Longer term potential of ocean energy is significant: • New, high-quality jobs; • Economic growth through innovation and export; • Energy security; • Decarbonisation; and • Resource efficiency.

In terms of market assessment, 5 bottlenecks have been identified: 1. Cost reduction, financial and profitability issues; 2. Lack of technological convergence and market fragmentation; 3. Infrastructure issues; 4. Administrative & regulatory issues; and 5. Environmental issues.

The European Commission has recently completed an impact assessment to inform a policy paper on ocean energy.

This will send a political signal and create an enabling framework to help scale-up the industry.

Cohesion and cooperation between stakeholders is crucial to avoid diffusion of efforts and duplication.

Presentation 3: Dr. Sian George – European Ocean Energy Association’s Vision Paper – how does SI Ocean fit in?

Presentation available at http://www.si-ocean.eu/en/News-Events/CHAMP-events/

L-R: Dr. Sian George, European Ocean Energy Association; Geraldine Martin, Basse-Normandie Region; Mikael Sidenmark, Ocean Harvesting Technologies AB.

Key points Critical challenges – for the sector and the European Ocean Energy Association • Sector: Technology, grid, planning - finance, finance, finance.

• SI Ocean – flagship project • Association: growth strategy – network Europe • All: cooperation, coordination & collaboration European Ocean Energy Association Members’ strategic priorities include technology advancement; project development (policy & finance); and leveraging public/private finance (target approx. €1bn to complement €500m invested by industry to date).

The UK and the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) - a haven for high-risk early development.

The UK-European investment hub is attracting investment from Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, France, the USA, Japan, Finland and Norway.

The bigger picture – strong foundation at European level to guide strategy and many opportunities to coordinate research and analysis on ocean energy.

The goal – elevating ocean energy in Europe’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan).

EU Hub consists of the Commission, European Parliament and MEPs, Member States. Industry and the Research Community.

Agreed milestones to cost competitiveness: • 2020 - RELIABLE - 15 demo arrays operating • 2025 - COST CONFIDENCE - 5 commercial arrays operating • 2030 - MARKET-READY - Cost-competitive commercial farms • 2050 - MAINSTREAM - Renewable Energy Supplier farms

Panel Discussion: “The role of Public-Private Partnerships in propelling wave and tidal into the mainstream energy mix by 2050” Panellists Dr. Sian George: Matthew King: Jean-Charles Boulat: Neil Kermode: Tim Hurst:

European Ocean Energy Association, CEO (Chair) DG Mare, European Commission, Head of Unit - Maritime Policy DCNS, VP European Affairs / Strategy & Development European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), CEO SEGEC (Scottish European Green Energy Centre), Chief Projects Officer

L-R: Skye Holcombe Henley; Neil Kermode; Tim Hurst; Matthew King; Jean-Charles Boulat; Dr. Sian George

Key points Common theme: cost reduction and how we’re going to finance industry.

Role of Green Investment Bank (UK) and European Investment Bank (EIB). EIB undertaking policy review of lending policy – report due Sept. 2013.

Volume of finance required by industry a key problem as banks won’t invest large amounts.

Industry needs equity (not debt finance) NOW. Industry will advance by demonstrating success – need to focus on achieving technology reliability and then tackle cost reduction.

Sufficient confidence within large companies that wave and tidal energy has a promising future but the technology must be competitive with other renewables.

Technology development being restricted by small scale grid infrastructure challenges – need mechanism to get devices in the water across Europe.

Commission has a role to play in facilitating discussions among Member States to realize strategic benefits of ocean energy and in helping to develop Europe’s sector.

SESSION 2 Presentation 4: Brendan Barry, ESB, Manager Ocean Energy “How ESB overcame policy and market challenges to secure NER 300 funding”. ESB’s WestWave project on the west coast of was awarded up to €19.8m from NER 300 for a demonstrator array of six 800 kilowatt wave energy devices.

Presentation available at http://www.si-ocean.eu/en/News-Events/CHAMP-events/

L-R: Brendan Barry, Guy Pomphrey; Kai Kölmel; Richard Yemm; Ken Street; Dr. Sian George

Key points Utility led pre-commercial project, technology neutral (will employ technology at TRL8) First wave energy farm in Ireland Pave the way for commercialisation through: • delivering 5MW small-scale array at acceptable cost; • demonstrating technology readiness; • developing the supply-chain; and • developing public acceptance.

WestWave given preferential treatment to connect to grid and received government support.

Robust and prudent project approach: Utility approach - Commercial focus: prudent first step; project delivery methodology; objective technology approach / Expertise of organization / Partnership model.

Ocean energy market: Wave and tidal options must be at least as commercially attractive as future offshore wind options.

• Ocean can be competitive with: the right conversion technology; bankable reliability and performance (TRL9); and a bridging market to economies of scale.

• Making the case involves: defining the market; competitive proposition; employment now and later; show tangible progress; and be realistic.

Promoting collaboration • smoother and less costly transition; • EU, state, utility and developers; and • R&D. 15

Presentation 5: Lynne Bryceland, Scottish Power Renewables (Iberdrola), Innovation Development Officer “How SPR overcame policy and market challenges to secure NER 300 funding”. The 10MW Sound of Islay project was awarded €20.7 million from NER 300 for a deep-water array”.

Presentation available at http://www.si-ocean.eu/en/News-Events/CHAMP-events/

L-R: Lynne Bryceland, SPR; Audrey MacIver and Norma Hogan, Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

Key points Strong momentum building behind ocean energy in Europe: • EERA / ERA-NET / SI Ocean / FP7 support / DG MARE Consultation / European Ocean Energy Association Vision Paper; and • NER 300 Sound of Islay awarded €20,650,000 – largest EU award to ocean energy project; SPR Marine Renewables Activities: • Primary focus in Scotland to date; • Working with leading Technology Developers: o ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest (Tidal) o Pelamis (Wave) • Testing full-scale devices; • Quantifying the resource; • Identifying the best locations; • Demonstration at array scale eg. Islay; and • Large-scale commercial projects eg. Pentland Firth.

Success of SPR – cost of energy. Commission was confident SPR would deliver results through collaboration with ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest (AHH) and Pelamis.

SPR invested in AHH to improve technology and much learning has been achieved through installation at EMEC. Of equal importance – technology reliability and its socio-economic credentials – local employment etc.

Risk Summary: • Many technical risks are the same for Wave & Tidal 16

• Research & learning is essential for mitigation • Innovation required and thus delivered in phases.

But, consider the risk of losing: • Significant jobs and economic potential • Supplemented by export opportunities Ensuring Europe continues to lead the world.

Local collaboration – Islay – involvement of local businesses maximized: Direct local benefits valued at up to £0.75m By end 2012, project will have spent £350k directly on the Isles of Islay and Jura By end 2014, projected likely spend on Islay/Jura to increase to £500-£750k Industry needs from Europe: • Capital grant funding – this need will diminish after first array projects; • Stable, attractive market revenue incentives such as the UK’s (former) Renewable Obligation; • Strategic support from Europe needed: o much needed European capital and revenue funding drive for further innovations in technology; o European co-ordination across the sector; o support for further cost reduction ; o increased confidence and profile for the technology.

M-R: Les Atkinson, E.ON; Anne van Houten, Bluewater.

Panel Discussion: What is the industry’s view on what needs to be done to overcome the key market barriers to industry commitment & project planning?

Panellists Richard Yemm: Ken Street: Guy Pomphrey: Kai Kölmel: Colin Imrie: Dr. Sian George:

Pelamis, Founder, Commercial Director Alstom, Business Development Manager - Ocean Energy Division DEME Blue Energy, Manager UK and Ireland Tidal Power Projects Siemens, VP Hydro & Ocean Power, Solar & Hydro Division Government of Scotland, Deputy Director, Energy Division European Ocean Energy Association, CEO (Chair)

L-R: Guy Pomphrey; Kai Kölmel; Richard Yemm; Colin Imrie; Ken Street

Key points Collaboration to address environmental challenges: Discussion of marrying marine protected areas and ocean energy. It was noted that synergies exist and that wind has successfully overcome barriers – it can be done. Burden is placed on technology developers to prove there are no risks – a more collaborative approach is required.

Replication of data: How can data be shared in an open and coherent way to avoid duplication? This is not classified information and industry cooperation would lower the costs for new entrants.

NER300 funding: December 2012 awards were based on cost of energy. Next round of awards unlikely to fund ocean energy projects (likely focus on CCS). Securing NER300 requires existing capital investment, and the funding support is provided per MW/h produced.

Beyond NER300: “EU grants won’t go on forever…need to get devices in the water”. A support mechanism is needed to fill the void of Member States not providing tariff support.

18

Industry transparency: Should be more transparency of results - issue of credibility.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR): Some of the Utilities and OEMs were asked if they would reveal their IRR and all declined.

Govt support: Industry should not be ashamed to ask for financial support. Established energy types – nuclear and coal – all developed with Govt money as they had military purpose.

Criteria for technology support: Need to quantify quality of technology through Technology Performance Level (TPL) check lists and cost of energy indicators – again, industry transparency and wide recognition of this metric is required. Panelists were asked if only the best technologies should receive support, to which they answered “yes”.

Investment guidance: Development of a pan-European process that utilities could feed into? Utilities will drive nearterm investment because they will be the customers and can envision the benefits. Banks will re-enter the market when ocean energy is cost-competitive with wind.

Disparate challenges across Europe: Need to agree milestones on how to drive Europe’s industry forward.

Collaborative funding / public procurement process to determine which projects get funding? The best technologies would still emerge as the front runners, and they would get funding.

Martin McAdam, Aquamarine Power, CEO

Conclusion The consultation brought together a wide range of ocean energy stakeholders from across Europe who are committed to driving the commercial development of ocean enrgy. Participants were invited and encouraged to share their views and experiences in an open forum regarding the non-technical barriers currently inhibiting the development and deployment of wave and tidal devices.

The consultation provided RenewableUK the opportunity to present an overview of the findings of the SI Ocean policy report (Task 4.1) – “Ocean Energy in Europe’s Atlantic Arc” which examined the policy and market drivers underpinning the development of ocean energy in Denmark, France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Some of the issues contained in this report were highlighted by other presenters, including a representative of the European Commission who identified five key bottlenecks within the ocean energy market. While key challenges are well known among industry, the Commission’s acknowledgement of these bottlenecks and call for cooperation among stakeholders to drive solutions demonstrated that industry has a captive audience in Brussels who want to see the sector mature.

Presentations by ESB and SPR demonstrated the commercial opportunities that can be born from a partnership between technology developers and energy companies. SPR noted that its collaboration with technology developers had helped convince the Commission of the potential of its project which was awarded NER-300 funding.

The two panel discussions allowed for constructive engagement between panelists and audience members who freely debated the cause, effect and possible solutions to policy and market challenges. Discussions revealed that project finance, at all stages of development, remained a major stumbling block to the sector’s development with banks hesitant to lend large amounts and a general understanding that “EU grants won’t go on forever”. While there is sufficient confidence within large companies that wave and tidal energy has a promising future, the economic imperative for technologies to reach cost competitiveness with other renewables will continue to dominate investment considerations.

The panel discussions also highlighted the need for clarity around the roles of governments, the Commission and individual companies in driving the growth of Europe’s ocean energy sector. In the absence of revenue and capital support schemes in some Member States, the introduction of a support mechanism to drive industry growth across Europe was described as fundamental for developing the sector. Greater cooperation among industry stakeholders on data collection and information sharing was also viewed as central to the advancement of the sector.
