FORESEA To Launch Fourth Offshore Energy Call at OEEC 2017

The FORESEA project will launch its fourth call for proposals from offshore energy supply technology developers at the Offshore Energy 2017 event in Amsterdam on October 10-11. The €11 million FORESEA program supports technology testing at test sites in the UK, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The fourth call will focus on offshore and subsea supply chain technologies to help developers diversify from the downturn in oil and gas into renewable energy. Representatives from FORESEA will promote the fourth call at Offshore Energy 2017 as part of the Marine Energy Pavilion.

The FORESEA project will launch a call for proposals from developers of offshore energy supply
technologies at the Offshore Energy 2017 event which takes place in Amsterdam on 10 & 11
October. The call aims to help developers of offshore and sub-sea technologies adapt their products
for use in the renewable energy sector. FORESEA is an €11m program, financed by the Interreg
North-West Europe program. It supports offshore renewable energy technologies to test at a
network of world-leading open-sea test sites, composed of EMEC (UK), SEM-REV (France),
SmartBay (Ireland) and DMEC (the Netherlands).
“The FORESEA program has been running for over a year now, and the response from technology
developers has been strong. A ‘real-sea’ technology testing program can be very costly, and
FORESEA helps technology developers by shouldering some of that cost,” explained Rob Flynn,
Communications Manager at Ocean Energy Europe who leads the communication of the
FORESEA project.
“Three wave and tidal energy technology developers – Scotrenewables, Tocardo, and CorPower
Ocean – have secured support to test their technologies through FORESEA, with plenty more
scheduled to hit the water over the next 2 years.” FORESEA awards ‘recommendations of support’
to project developers through a competitive call for application procedure. Awardees then secure
their support package upon contract with the center they wish to test at.
“The third call for proposals closes on 29 September, and the fourth call, which we intend to open
at Offshore Energy 2017 will have a different focus – offshore and subsea supply chain
technologies. Offshore renewables are coming on fast, and with the downturn in the oil & gas
market now is a good time for technology developers to diversify into this space. We’re keen to
have that conversation with technology developers, and see if FORESEA can support them to come
to one of FORESEA’s test sites,”Flynn added. Representatives of the FORESEA project will be
present at Offshore Energy 2017 as part of the Marine Energy Pavilion, coordinated by DMEC.

Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) is one of Europe’s leading offshore energy
events. It is unique in bringing together the oil & gas, offshore wind and marine energy industry.
With the industry in transition, OEEC offers offshore energy professionals the ideal meeting
place to network, discuss and learn about the future of energy.
