BV certification scheme to de-risk marine renewable energy projects

Bureau Veritas (BV) has published a set of guidelines that aim to address the risks associated with developing marine renewable energy businesses and projects.

  • The NI 631 “Certification Scheme for Marine Renewable Energy Technologies” scheme covers floating offshore wind turbines, current and tidal turbines, including sea and river turbines, wave energy converters, and ocean thermal energy converters (OTECs).
  • BV states that its familiarity with offshore engineering and knowledge of environmental realities and regulatory requirements for marine renewable energy projects will help it to reduce the risks associated with renewable energy projects as they continue to grow.
  • The certification covers entire projects including farms of multiple units, type approval and components, for concepts, prototypes and for series production.
