Meeting the Marine Energy Challenge – How supply chain innovation is enabling early array deployment Hosted by the South West Marine Energy Park in partnership with InvestInCornwall


Early array deployment presents a number of challenges. This workshop session will discuss latest innovative solutions and scaling-up of the supply chain with new capabilities to support early array deployment. Hear from experienced marine energy supply chain partners about their experience of deploying full scale technology and the lessons that can be used to accelerate array deployment and commercial projects. Presentations will be based on case studies looking at collaboration, project design, device manufacturing and installation and will also consider how supply chain innovation can reduce project risk to attract finance and backing from utilities and project developers.
