Just heard that the Offshore Energy Environmental Research Association will hold a series of six environmental assessment community forums starting next Monday.
The forums will provide an opportunity to share information about the potential to generate tidal energy in the Bay of Fundy using tidal in-stream turbines.
"The Bay of Fundy may be the best location in the world for grid-connected tidal power generation, but this form of renewable energy technology is still very new," said Meinhard Doelle, chairman of the Fundy Tidal Energy Technical Advisory Group.
The forums will run from 7 to 9 p.m. The dates and locations are:
August 13, Monday, Yarmouth, Rodd Grand Yarmouth;
August 14, Tuesday, Digby Pines Golf Resort & Spa;
August 15, Wednesday, Wolfville, Acadia University;
August. 20, Monday, Parrsboro, Fundy Geological Museum; Aug. 21,
Truro, Best Western Glengarry Hotel; Aug. 22, Halifax, Dalhousie University.
Pre-registration for the forums is available at Offshore Energy Research office (click on Events) or by calling Wanda Barrett at 1-888-257-8688. For more info on tidal energy in the Bay of Fundy see the sidebar of my blog.
