Grant Overview
Nova Scotia's tidal energy sector operates under the Marine Renewable Energy Act, which mandates specific environmental monitoring protocols for any device testing in the Bay of Fundy. Readiness requirements include pre-deployment baseline studies of benthic communities and marine mammal movement that must be completed before equipment installation.
Port facilities in Digby and Parrsboro lack dedicated high-voltage grid connections rated for megawatt-scale tidal prototypes. This infrastructure gap requires applicants to budget for temporary diesel generation or subsea cable extensions when proposing multi-month trials.
Nova Scotia Tidal Energy Readiness Standards
Grant proposals must contain a detailed schedule showing completion of provincial environmental effects monitoring plans prior to device deployment. Research organizations and universities must submit proof of access agreements with the Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy.
Who Qualifies for Nova Scotia Tidal Funding
Nonprofits and small businesses must partner with a licensed marine contractor registered in Nova Scotia. Applications require confirmation that all crew hold valid Marine Emergency Duties certification. Unlike New Brunswick tidal stream projects, Nova Scotia requires explicit modeling of lobster fishing season overlaps in any Bay of Fundy submission.
