UNECE 4th Session Group of Experts on Renewable Energy2-3 November, 2017
Outline
* Marine Energy
* Project Development- Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project - NY, NY- Tidal Energy in the United Kingdom- Offshore Wind in the United States
* Verdant Order- FERC Declaratory Order (2005)“This order is in the public interest because it clarifies that, under limited circumstances, experimental hydroelectric facilities may be tested without the need for a license.”
* Project License (Project No. 12611)- FERC Order Issuing Pilot Project License (2012)- First-of-a-kind in the USA
* Hydrokinetic Pilot Power Licensing Process - FERC-Developed Process (2014)“Projects eligible to use this process are small, are able to be shutdown or removed on short notice, and avoid sensitive locations. The resulting license would be short-term and include rigorous environmental monitoring and safeguards.”
- First US offshore wind project- Multi-year, multi-agency, multi-permit process - Final US Army Corps of Engineers approval in 2014 - Right-of-way permit from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
- Certification (3rd party verification) to consensus-based International Standards can reduce risk, improve market access and support the commercialization of the Marine Energy industry
International Standards [IEC Technical Committee (TC) 114 – Marine Energy]- 15 P-Member National Committees (Participating countries)
- 11 O-Member National Committees (Observing countries)
Reduce Risk (Cost)Certification (3rd party verification) to consensus-based International Standards can reduce risk, improve market access and support the commercialization of the Marine Energy industry
Standards (IEC TC114 – Marine Energy)- 15 P-Member National Committees (Participating countries)- 11 O-Member National Committees (Observing countries)- 8 published Technical Specifications- 8 under development, 2 in maintenance- Liaison with IEA-OES
