Ségolène Royal, the French Minister for Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, confirmed that she will be in attendance of the OEE 2015 conference.

Minister Royal will accompany four other European ministers and an EU Commissioner at the event held in Dublin. In a keynote speech on Tuesday 20 October, she will outline what the French government is doing to support renewables and share her vision for ocean energy development in France.

Minister Royal has recently taken the lead on supporting renewable energy in France via the ‘green growth’ energy transition law, which sets ambitious goals on the national level and aims to promote new renewable technologies whilst reducing nuclear production. She will also play a key role in the forthcoming global climate negotiations, COP 21, taking place in Paris in November.

France, with its rich background of maritime engineering, has emerged as a key player with regards to ocean energy industry. Alstom and DCNS play major roles in the development of technology for renewable energy, while EDF and Engie are the driving force behind projects in West Normandy. France also benefits from a strong network of research institutes who are active in the field. The French government has been strongly supportive of this progress, through ADEME’s ‘Investment in the Future’ programme.
