The Alaska Energy Authority is spearheading the first Tidal Energy Conference to be held in Alaska. AEA's alternative energy efforts include looking at tidal and ocean energy to displace diesel in areas of Alaska that make economic sense. A variety of experts will give presentations over the two day conference. This event will take place at the Ted Ferry Conference Center in Ketchikan on January 23-24, 2007. The public and press are invited to attend.
Conference presentations will include: tidal energy overview, report on Verdant Power's East River environmental study, tidal energy resource of selected SE Alaska sites, environmental and regulatory permitting, tidal energy devices nearing commercialization, and opportunities and obstacles to project development
Schedule speakers include EPRI Ocean Energy Project Manager Roger Bedard, who co-authorized EPRI's international studies and reports on wave and tidal energy, and Trey Taylor, Co-founder and President of Verdant Power.
