Pacific Marine Energy Center is the final phase of the wave energy testing program for Oregon State University's Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMNREC They are currently trying to find a location in Oregon for a grid-connected wave energy testing facility. Four sites are being
considered at this time: Camp Rilea, Newport, Reedsport and Coos Bay. The final site location will be chosen based on a combination of local input and preferred site characteristics.
Outreach processes have been started in each of these communities to help gather information from the community's perspective and to help identify a compatible site. The final decision on a site will be made by the end of 2012.
Purpose of these forums is for OSU to learn about the community's interest and barriers to having PMEC in their community and for community members to learn more about PMEC and become involved in the site selection process.
The schedule for these community forums (all forums are from 5:30 to
7:30 p.m) is as follows:
Monday, August, 20, 2012, Hatfield Marine Science Center (Hennings Auditorium), Newport, Oregon
Wednesday, August 22, 2012, Reedsport Community Charter School (Pacific Auditorium), 2260 Longwood Drive, Reedsport, Oregon
