CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
DR. JOHN HUCKERBY Aotearoa Wave and Tidal Energy Association OES Chairman 2009-2012

This year’s Annual Report shows the new face of Ocean Energy Systems (OES) and a new Vision for the future of ocean energy. We have updated our name, our logo and launcheda completely new website – www.ocean-energy-systems.org, which features even more information than our previous site. Rebranding of OES arose from a requirement to develop a new 5-year Strategic Plan (2012–2016) and a complementary Communications Plan. The purpose of these changes is to raise the profile of OES’s vision, work programmes and to ensure that our outputs are more widely valued andused by the ocean energy industry. During 2010 and 2011 the Executive evaluated the achievements of its previous Strategic Plan and developed a new Strategic Plan to inform its request from the IEA for a 3rd 5-year mandate. The new Strategic Plan has, as its core, the Vision that OES will become: “The Authoritative International Voice for Ocean Energy” To articulate and publicize its new role the OESExecutive has produced a new brochure entitled the “International Vision for Ocean Energy”, which sets out the present status of the ocean energy industry, benefits, cost trends, policies, markets, challenges and opportunities for ocean energy to 2050. The first version of the “International Vision” brochure has been circulated and presented at international ocean energy conferences and...
