set goals. A series of interactive sessions will be held across the four days discussing collaborative experiences across the supply chain on topics including Women in Energy, Addressing the Skill Gap, Decarbonisation Strategies through Technology, Driving Offshore Diversification and Integrated Energy Systems.The wide ranging exhibition theatres will host sessions which discuss thought-provoking subjects including Harnessing the Power of Wind, Differing Perspectives on an Integrated Energy System in the North Sea and Driving Offshore Electrification.Jonathan Heastie, Portfolio Director – Energy
Eco Wave Power's Wave Energy Project Connects to Israel's Power Grid
Power Global, a wave energy developer, said Tuesday that its station at the Port of Jaffa in Tel Aviv, EWP-EDF One, had officially connected to Israel’s national electrical grid – making it the first wave energy project to deliver electricity to the country’s power supply.The wave energy system installed at the Port of Jaffa comprises ten floaters along the Port of Jaffa’s pre-existing breakwater. Each floater connects directly to Eco Wave Power’s land-based energy conversion unit, which enables easy access for operational maintenance and upgrades.Now, the EWP-EDF One project
Hitachi Energy to Supply HVDC Converter Stations for UK's Longest HVDC Link
in bringing this vast amount of renewable power to shore and south, to communities across the country," Hitachi Energy said.“The UK’s Net Zero Strategy has ambitious targets which will require vast amounts of new renewable generation. Electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system,” said Niklas Persson, Managing Director at Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business. "Our pioneering HVDC technology will ensure that this electricity will reliably and efficiently get where it’s needed most.”“This is another important milestone for EGL2

and future offshore wind sites presents an opportunity to add large volumes of additional renewable energy," the companies said.Philippe Van Troeye, Tractebel CEO: "In the same way that we have seen wind technology moving from land to the sea, we are seeing the extension of the whole energy system towards offshore locations. Along with offshore green fuel production, offshore energy islands, interconnectors, and potential solutions for energy storage, we believe offshore floating PV has an important role to play in the acceleration of the energy transition. While this technology is still

the main test program planned for Phase 2. The first revision of the guideline was delivered to participants the same year. The guideline is currently at a high level, and more work is needed to develop more specific acceptance criteria.Prajeev Rasiah, Regional Director, Northern Europe, Energy Systems, DNV said: “DNV is committed to the energy transition and plays an active role in supporting its customers removing risks around the implementation of clean energy solutions like hydrogen. We invest in initiatives such as the FutureGrid Project at our Spadeadam Test Facility
Sustainable Marine Sells Swift Anchors to Schottel
UK-based tidal energy solutions provider Sustainable Marine has sold its anchoring and mooring company Swift Anchors to its largest shareholder, Schottel. According to Sustainable Marine, which earlier this year brought online a tidal energy system in Canada, Swift Anchors has been developed to enable faster and cheaper mooring installations in highly energetic tidal sites, with very short working windows.The announcement comes shortly after the launch of Swift Anchors' next-generation, remotely operated rock anchor installation system, named AROV2-which will be used to install anchors for

of TSE could be deployed in the UK by 2035, in agreement with the Marine Energy Council’s ask for the UK Government to commit to 1GW of marine energy deployment by 2035. The report also highlights that TSE could dramatically improve domestic energy security and reduce costs in the future energy system due to its predictable nature. "An increasing emphasis on domestic energy security presents an opportunity for TSE to build capacity as a reliable and forecastable complementary renewable energy source," ORE Catapult said.Caroline Lourie, Technical Manager, at the European Marine
