International Convention on Marine Renewable Energy 4th edition of THETIS MRE 20 and 21 May 2015, Nantes Pays de la Loire, FRANCE Conferences and workshops « Marine Renewable Energy : from opportunity to industrial reality » WEDNESDAY 20th MAY 09:30 – 10:30 ● Opening session How do we industrialize across Europe ? 10:30 – 12:00 ● Plenary Session • This first plenary session is devoted to the issues surrounding the creation of the industrial infrastructure needed to support the ambitious implementation plans both sides of the Channel. The focus is on contrasting experience each side of the Channel including two ports. AREVA : Philippe Kavafyan ALSTOM : Nicolas Serrie STX : Fréderic Grizaud PORT DE NANTES / ST-NAZAIRE : Jean-Pierre Chalus PORT OF HULL : Gareth Davies * NEOPOLIA : Loïck Anger Fixed offshore wind : the state of play. 13:30 – 14:30 ● Workshop • Of all marine renewables technologies, this is the' most mature with 10Gw expected in the UK by 2020 and France planning 6Gw although the timing has slipped back somewhat. Larger turbines are helping to reduce costs, but the support mechanisms put in place in France and the UK are very different, and different again from those in Germany. Industrial strategies differ widely too. We aim to highlight what works and what doesn't, looking for a coherent future policy framework that will encourage development and contribute to longer-term cost reduction.

Successful fund raising depends on having the right legal framework. In France this has been problematic, but should now improve. Funding packages are constantly evolving and getting more sophisticated. More banks need to be involved with a greater understanding of our industry, but without choking off innovation - a very real issue. Risk management is critical and will also be discussed. NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT : Anne Lapierre BESSE : François Renelier GREEN GIRAFFE : Jerôme Guillet OCEAN ENERGY EUROPE : Remi Gruet ADEME : Magali Schweitzer CATAPULT : Cian Conroy * Floating offshore wind : the route of the future. 17:00 – 18:00 ● Workshop • France is heavily committed to this technology with several companies competing to prove that theirs is the best solution. Here the debate between vertical and horizontal axis turbines is not over and could spill over into fixed. Franc's windy western Mediterranean Gulf of Lions coast needs this solution that is also essential to marine renewables development in Japan. We bring together the leading developers and experts to brief us on the state of development. DCNS : Frederic LeLidec (France) IDEOL : B.

The role of R & D and of the test centers will remain central to progress, but can we better coordinate our efforts on a European scale to reduce wasteful duplication. Further education and training, already a prominent need in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, is going to be key to ensuring the availability of skilled personnel. What is on offer? Is it what the market wants ? ECN : Alain Clément (France) ENSTA : Jean-Yves Pradillon (France) PMBA : P. Poupon (France) * EMEC : O. Wragg (United Kingdom) FLOWAVE : S. Brown (United Kingdom) Operation & Maintenance (OPEX) cost reduction opportunities. 10:30 - 12:00 ● Plenary Session • Although the French projects are still a long way from incurring operational costs, this is not true in Britain and the issue is central to overall project cost control. France having opted for a policy of subsidizing national industrial development thus pushing up costs, will need to be very attentive to cost reduction opportunities in OPEX in the future if costs are to remain acceptable to French tax payers. RENEWABLE RISK ADVISERS : M. Bullock AILES MARINES : Jean-François Petit ARMATEURS DE FRANCE : Eric Banel BVG ASSOCIATES : Bruce Valpy NATURAL POWER : Grégoire Durand AERODYN : Jean-Christophe Hinrichs Wave energy ; the beginning of the end ? 13:30 – 14:30 ● Workshop • The recent failure of Pelamis and signs of strain at Aquamarine are symptomatic of the difficulty that this sector has experienced in the quest for successful machines. Given the enormity of the global resource, we expect that sooner or later a viable solution will be found. We will hear from companies that have promising machines, telling us about their hopes and plans for the future.

Printed on 07.04.2015 Page 3/4 International Convention on Marine Renewable Energy 4th edition of THETIS MRE 20 and 21 May 2015, Nantes Pays de la Loire, FRANCE Tidal : going with the flow ? 14:45 – 15:45 ● Workshop • The European tidal turbine market is split between the UK and France, and total possible machine numbers are modest. We are again facing the fact that France is pointing one way with DCNS and Alstom, and the UK another with Atlantis Resources and Hammerfest. The Alderney potential is also of great importance. How do we cooperate to minimize costs and get the industry really moving? ONEM : G. Martin (France) TOCARDO : Paul Morris () FORCE CANADA REP : C. Campbell SUSTAINABLE MARINE ENERGY : Christoph Harwood (United Kingdom) * SWANSEA BAY TIDAL LAGOON : Ton Fijen (United Kingdom) MRE in remote & island communities - a different story ? 16:00 – 17:30 ● Plenary Session • He recent failure of Pelamis and signs of strain throughout the industry are symptomatic of the difficulty that this sector has experienced in the quest for successful machines. Given the enormity of the global resource, we expect that sooner or later a viable solution will be found. We will hear from companies that have promising machines, telling us about their hopes and plans for the future.
