Enel Green Power (EGP), has joined Ocean Energy Europe’s Board of Directors. The move is further evidence of the growing industrial momentum driving ocean energy technologies to commercial readiness across the entire EU.
“Enel Green Power are one of the most experienced renewable energy developers in the world, and we are very pleased to see them taking a leading role in the industry. Their involvement adds to the growing credibility of the ocean energy industry as the next key player in the electricity market, and puts Italy firmly on the ocean energy map,” said Rémi Gruet, CEO Ocean Energy Europe.
Enel Green Power is a major global operator in the field of energy generation from renewable sources, with an annual production of 32 Twh, mainly from water, the sun, wind and the Earth’s heat, meeting the energy consumption of over 11 million families and avoiding 17 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
