The Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC)
The Atlantic Marine Energy Center is a MRE test site in planning, to be located AMEC provides laboratory and open ocean testing for marine energy devices and device components. AMEC operates tidal and wave energy and open ocean test sites. AMEC strengthens and connects the capabilities of individual institutions. A national marine energy center, sponsored by the Department of Energy, with a mission to advance the marine energy industry and power the blue economy. AMEC is a university-led consortium between the University of New Hampshire, Lehigh University, Stony Brook University, and the Coastal Studies Institute of North Carolina, to address the ongoing needs for research, development, and testing in support of wave and tidal and ocean current energy. For its current work scope, AMEC partners and collaborates with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the European Marine Energy Center, and Old Dominion University on specific tasks.
