Marine Renewables Canada Origins

In 2001 BC Hydro pursued the feasibility of wave and tidal energy around Vancouver Island and the BC coast. Resource assessment were completed and early MOUs were signed with international wave energy device developers. A change in Provincial energy policy in 2003 resulted in the cancellation of demonstration project plans.
