Oceantic Network has appointed three new members to its board of directors from JERA Nex bp, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and RWE.
The new appointees are RWE US Offshore Wind president and chief executive Sam Eaton, JERA Nex bp Beacon Wind project director Jason Meidinger, and NJEDA chief executive Tim Sullivan.
They will serve three-year terms ending in January 2029, joining current representatives from companies including ABS, DEME Offshore, Dominion Energy and Nexans.
Oceantic Network said the new directors bring extensive offshore energy and economic development experience and expand the organisation’s expertise in marine renewable technologies beyond offshore wind.
Chief executive Liz Burdock said: “These three additional board members provide invaluable expertise and important perspective as Oceantic Network continues to advance American energy development in the US.”
She added: “Our board’s experience as energy developers, manufacturers, and government agency executives are already advancing US development with commitments and investments in a robust, local supply chain, positioning Oceantic to further shape the offshore wind and marine renewable energy industry.”
Burdock said Oceantic will prioritise “an all-of-the-above approach” to deliver more domestic energy for the economy, workforce and national energy security.
