The city is taking steps towards developing local renewable energy resources with the planned $60-million wind farm in the Spruce Lake Industrial Park and other clean energy initiatives led by Saint John Energy.
In partnership with Port Saint John, officials from Halifax-based Marine Renewables Canada will be in town next week to lead an information session on opportunities in the international offshore wind industry as well as Canadian tidal energy development.
The information session, which will take place on January 14 at Diamond Jubilee Cruise Terminal, will highlight the opportunities for Canadian supply chain engagement in offshore wind energy developments and will provide an overview of the context for potential offshore wind energy projects in Canada.
The event will feature presentations from Envigour Policy Consulting Inc., Northland Power Inc., Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE), Sustainable Marine Energy, and an update on plans and activities to support industry and business opportunities from Marine Renewables Canada.
There will also be updates on tidal energy activity in the Bay of Fundy, including current project plans and timelines.
The event will take place from 2 p.m to 4:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend but participants must register in advance. For more information or to register, visit the Marine Renewables website.
