Emmanuel Brochard is the VP of Business Development for North America and the Caribbean at DCNS, a company that invests in four types of marine renewable energies: tidal turbines, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), floating offshore wind, and wave energy. DCNS provides equipment, installation, and maintenance services for renewable energy projects. Remote island communities in particular can benefit from OTEC, as it provides a stable source of renewable energy to power their isolated grids. DCNS is working on the NEMO project, which will be the first commercial offshore OTEC plant operating in Martinique by 2019, as well as onshore hybrid power plants that can produce electricity, fresh water, and air conditioning.

Remote and Islands communities : a different story
Specific technical & economical features :
Closed & non-interconnected power grid
Non nuclearized areas
Highly dependant to fossil fuel
Land pressure on island
Renewable potential already highly harvested
High cost of energy (average of 250/300€/MWh)
Tropical storms areas
Need for industrial local content
OTEC is a solution meeting the demand on 3 expectations :
A new source of renewable energy with no risk on the resource
A 24/7 renewable energy delivering baseload electrical flow of
power to the grid
Hybrid onshore concept : multiproducts power plants with
electricity, air conditionning (SWAC), Waste Hear recovery
(ORC), fresh water.

7. DCNS: First OTEC commercial offshore plant : NEMO Project
• 16 MW offshore OTEC plant
• to be operating in Martinique island by 2019
• 72 M€ awarded under the NER300 programme by the European Commission

8. DCNS: onshore hybrid multiproducts power plants
• Hybrid onshore concept : multiproducts
power plants with electricity, air
conditionning (SWAC), Waste Hear
recovery (ORC), fresh water.
