3 ESB and Ocean Energy

4 Electricity Supply Board, Ireland Vertically integrated utility established in Owned by the Irish State with total assets 12.5bn. Over 6GW generation capacity and 7,000 staff. Consulting over 35 years in over 100 countries. Investment strategy to achieve carbon neutrality.

5 ESB - Delivering its mission for 85 Years Nation building Rural electricification Securing Ireland s energy supply Competition CO 2 & market integration Electricity generated Real GDP

6 ESB and Ocean Energy World-class resource in Ireland. ESB experience in ocean energy. Next generation of renewables. Position for growth beyond 2020: Build Capability Technology & Research Partnerships Engineering Support to projects (e.g. Seagen and AMETS) Develop ESB Projects Pre-Commercial projects (e.g. WestWave) Position for Commercial Projects

7 Ocean Energy in Ireland

8 What is Ocean Energy? Wave Energy Tidal Stream Energy Solar -> Wind -> Waves (6 20s) Mechanical Energy Flux across oceans dissipates at coastline Variable but more predictable than wind Very large resource Celestial Bodies excite tidal fluctuations in ocean (~12 hour period) High velocity (2-4m/s peak) currents result at certain locations Very predictable and base load application a possibility.

9 but is there a long term market? UK and RoI Tidal Stream Resource:

10 but is there a long term market? UK and RoI Wave Resource:

11 but is there a long term market? RoI: Demand met with onshore wind alone. Is there a market for further variable wave energy? UK renewable shortfall: but resources are peripheral to load centres. Can power be imported from Scotland, NI or even RoI? Growth of UK offshore wind: A signal that a significant market may develop if ocean energy costs become competitive with offshore wind?

12 Can marine resources compete? Renewable Resource Wind (input wind at 12m/s, the typical rated velocity of an offshore wind turbine) Tidal (input water current at 2.4m/s, the typical rated velocity of a tidal turbine) Wave (input seastate H s =6m, T z =8s, the typical rated sea state for wave energy converters) Power Density (W / m 2 ) 1,100 W/m 2 7,000 W/m 2 9,400 W/m 2 (average in upper 10m of sea) Yes, marine renewables can compete, with: the right conversion technology Bankable reliability and performance A bridging market to economies of scale
