Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC)

PMEC is an umbrella organization that unifies testing, research & development, and educational programs in marine energy across the University of Washington (lead), Oregon State University, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Individual projects typically cross-cut these capabilities and often involve collaborative teams drawn from multiple institutions. 
PMEC was formerly known as the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) until 2018.
