Marine Energy Projects
This database defines projects as open-water marine energy device deployments meant to generate electricity or provide some alternative benefit. Launching a marine energy project is a complex process where a typical deployment must identify a location that has good resource potential and adequate grid infrastructure, while avoiding sensitive habitat and conflicting ocean uses. Developers must seek permits from local agencies, negotiate a power purchase agreement, communicate with local stakeholders, and coordinate with the supply chain on manufacturing and installation. Clicking on a project will bring up more information, including links to the devices that have been deployed and organizations that are managing the project. There are currently a total of 200 projects in the PRIMRE Projects Database.

Marine Energy Projects
The following is a list of marine energy projects meant to collect energy from ocean waves, currents, temperature gradients, and salinity gradients. Columns can be sorted, and the full table can be downloaded for additional analysis. If you have knowledge of a project not included, please add a new project.
