Agenda for Marine Electricity Production

Important results from the project

Marine energi for sustainable electricity production can result in staggering possibilities for creating jobs in creating a successful export industry of substantial extent. The Agenda´s main purpose has been to create a common vision and a strategy for this part of the ocean energy business sector. Conditions for establishing the research area outside Lysekil as a nationally prioritized test facility is highlighted and need of activities and actions in a possible SIO has been analyzed.

Expected long term effects

The project has resulted in an Agenda for marine electricity production from ocean waves and currents. The project has resulted in expected increased interaction between actors and has thereby contributed to facilitating collaboration projects and increased collaboration between actors in the sector. The meetings of the Agenda have presented a platform for discussion which has led to increased understanding for partly opposite perspectives and the standpoint of various organizations.

Approach and implementation

The project has both benefited , but also partly been neglected, by the Energy Agency´s initiation work for a new research programme for ocean energy as the actors are partly the same. The mission has been carried out through workshops, surveys, meetings and discussions, even interactively, with several other initiatives in the area. The work should hereinafter focus on networking in a wider perspective, e.g. national authorities and actors in adjacent business sectors.
