Sharing engineering know how, policy and good practice
Identifying marine energy hotspots, prioritising island communities
Investigating the needs for energy generation and distribution
Encouraging business opportunities
Engaging with communities, helping them to see the need for renewable energy
The maritime regions of Cornwall and Finistère are in a great position to benefit from the expected growth in marine renewable energy. Their peninsula nature and exposure to the Atlantic Ocean provides significant wave, wind and tidal resources.
Cornwall, Isles of Scilly and Finistère with the Parc Naturel Marin d’Iroise have identified marine energy as a key priority for development, with anticipated economic, social and environmental benefits.
MERiFIC (Marine Energy in Far Peripheral and Island Communities) reflects this aspiration for a highly innovative green economy.
