Target 2025 Conference – Recordings and presentations

23.06.2021

OEE’s ‘Target 2025’ event on 22 June was extremely successful. It brought important political attention to the ocean energy sector and in particular to the Offshore Strategy’s target of 100MW of wave and tidal by 2025. European Commission Director for Green Transition and Energy System Integration Catharina Sikow-Magny hailed OEE’s study on the ocean energy project pipeline as ‘precise and useful’, and reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to the sector. She identified the coming decade as ‘crucial for ocean energy developers’ and emphasised that ‘swift and continuous action is absolutely necessary’.

The Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson subsequently cited OEE’s analysis in correspondence with the European Parliament, and committed to intensify its coordination with national and regional authorities, with a focus on funding and re-risking of demonstration projects’

A political vision for ocean energy

The EU Strategy on Offshore Renewable Energy is a landmark communication, setting a clear path for ocean energy. Rapid implementation of the text is now needed to reach its ambitious targets.

During this conference, leading EU policymakers shared their vision for the ocean energy sector and discussed priorities to turn the Strategy into action.
