• Unite and gather regions and institutions

• Gather together decision-makers and stakeholders around an international meeting dedicated to renewable ocean energy

• Promote the role of marine renewable energies in the energy transition

Thetis MRE, Nantes, 20th & 21st May 2015 About THETIS MRE

THETIS MRE, a unique business meeting:

• Under the Patronage of the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development, Thetis MRE has accompanied the rise of the sector by gathering around its unifying event all key players in the MRE market : political and institutional, business and associations, economic agencies, industrial and competitiveness clusters, university research centres, media etc.

• Hosted each year by a region particularily driven by the development of MREs, Thetis MRE’s ambition is to continue the itinerant 2-day annual meeting by adapting its format to the evolution in the market and by anticipating trends and future stages, according to a forward-looking approach. The previous editions of Thetis MRE International Convention took place in Bordeaux, 2012 (Acquitaine region), Brest, 2013 (Brittany), Cherbourg, 2014 (Normandy)and Nantes , 2015 ().

• Thetis MRE, through different offers of its Convention, adresses both a targeted, specialised audience and larger audiences willing to open up towards the « EMR community ».

Workshop Opening session: 10h-11h 14h-15h Fixed offshore wind: the state of play

Christophe Clergeau - Vice President of Pays de la Of all marine renewables technologies, this is the' most mature with Loire Region 10Gw expected in the UK by 2020 and France planning 6Gw Johanna Rolland - President of Nantes Metropolis although the timing has slipped back somewhat. Larger turbines are David Samzun - President of Saint Nazaire helping to reduce costs, but the support mechanisms put in place in Conglomeration – CARENE France and the UK are very different, and different again from those Jérôme Jacquemin - DNV-GL in Germany. Industrial strategies differ widely too. We aim to highlight what works and what doesn't, looking for a coherent future Paul O’Brien– Scottish Development International policy framework that will encourage development and contribute

to longer-term cost reduction. Plenary session 11h-12h30 How do we industrialize across Europe? Jean-Baptiste Sejourné – ENGIE (nouveau nom GDF Suez) Béatrice Buffon – EDF-EN Vincent Bales – WPD Offshore This first plenary session is devoted to the issues Fréderic Petit – SIEMENS surrounding the creation of the industrial infrastructure Gro de Saint Martin – RTE 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. Plenary session How does all this get funded? Philippe Kavafyan – Pole offshore du SER Nicolas Serrie – Alstom 15h15-16h45 Frédéric Grizaud – STX France The projects need to be funded. Successful fund raising depends on Jean-Pierre Chalus – Grand Port Maritime de St-Nazaire having the right legal framework. In France this has been Simon Brett – Port de Hull problematic, but should now improve. Funding packages are Loïck Anger - Neopolia 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.

Programme of conferences and workshops Wednesday 20th May ( continued) Thursday 21st May Anne Lapierre – Norton Rose Fullbright Workshop François Renelier – Cabinet Bessé 9h15-10h15 Jérôme Guillet – Green Giraffe R&D, test sites, education & training - innovation Magali Schweitzer – ADEME Remi Gruet – Ocean Energy Europe If our industry has managed to get off the ground, that is in Ray Hunter – ORE Catapult part thanks to earlier R & D, and the test centers. The role of R & D and of the test centers will remain central to progress, but can we better co-ordinate our efforts on a European scale to Workshop reduce wasteful duplication. Further education and training, 17h-18h Floating offshore wind: the route of the future 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 ? France is heavily committed to this technology with several companies competing to prove that theirs is the Bertrand Allessandrini – ECN (Ecole centrale de Nantes) best solution. Here the debate between vertical and Jean-Yves Pradillon – ENSTA horizontal axis turbines is not over and could spill over Stéphane Riou - PMBA (Pole Mer Bretagne Atlantique) into fixed. Franc's windy western Mediterranean Gulf of Oliver Wragg – EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre) Lions coast needs this solution that is also essential to Stuart Brown – Flowave marine renewables development in Japan. We bring together the leading developers and experts to brief us Plenary session on the state of development. Operation & maintenance (OPEX) cost reduction opportunities Frédéric Le Lidec – DCNS Bruno Geschier – Ideol Although the French projects are still a long way from Marie Viala – Nenuphar 10h30-12h incurring operational costs, this is not true in Britain and the Alain Delsupexhe – Eolfi Christian Cermelli – Principle Power 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.

But for remote and island communities, the problem is very different.
