ANNEX 1 FREDS MARINE ENERGY GROUP: REMIT 01.04.09
Vision
The FREDS Marine Energy Group 2009 will work towards the following vision:
"To accelerate delivery of the world's leading marine energy industry that will provide a substantial contribution to the sustainable economy and environment of Scotland."
Working Methods
The full MEG will meet monthly, until its work programme is complete. Sub-groups will be formed to undertake specific detailed pieces of work. These sub-groups may rise and fall as required. The MEG will continue to consider means for covering the cost of any detailed work it deems necessary for its work programme.
The MEG has a formal working relationship with the Marine Energy Spatial Planning Group as the other key Group operating in this area. Phil Gilmour will act as the formal link to the latter Group on MEG. The MEG will also have strong links through its members to the following Groups:
- Core FREDS Group
- Offshore Wind Delivery Board
- Energy Networks Strategy Group
- SRF Marine Work Group
- BWEA Marine Strategy Group
- REA Ocean Energy Group
- Energy Technology Partnership
- Saltire Prize Team
- Renewables Advisory Board
- Department for Energy and Climate Change
- Treasury
'Road Map'
The MEG will draft and accept a Scottish Marine Renewables ' Road Map'25. The MEG may need to commission a variety of studies in order to inform the ' Road Map'. The ' Road Map' will be completed by Summer 2009. The FREDSMEG Project Plan will be used to manage the delivery of the 'Road Map´ and associated workstreams. Associated workstreams may be considered on topics such as grid, finance, supply chain, planning and consents.
The MEG will liaise with the MESPG to ensure that the ' Road Map' can also act as a framework for the work by the latter group.
In addition, the MEG will have a role in the promotion of the Scottish marine energy industry, and communications on industry issues with other stakeholders.
Actions
After agreeing the Scottish Marine Renewables ' Road Map', the FREDSMEG will take forward specific actions to enable the achievement of the aims laid out in the ' Road Map'. These are laid out in the FREDSMEG Project Plan.
Wherever appropriate, FREDSMEG should work with MESPG and other individuals/organisations.
