Demonstration of sustainable wave energy farms

The program targets a broad range of legal entities capable of advancing sustainable wave energy solutions, with a strong emphasis on European and international collaboration. The primary goal is to de-risk wave energy technology and foster its market readiness by demonstrating pilot farms under real operational conditions.

This program specifically funds projects focused on the demonstration and operational validation of sustainable wave energy pilot farms. The scope includes critical aspects from industrial design to environmental monitoring, targeting advanced stages of technology readiness.

Financial support for sustainable wave energy farm demonstrations is provided through grants, with substantial funding amounts available per project. The project duration emphasizes long-term operational validation.

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions related to application submission, consortium formation, budget allocation, and broader regulatory compliance, including environmental protection and data sharing.

The application process for this program is now closed, having followed a single-stage submission and a comprehensive evaluation process to ensure fairness and expertise-driven assessment.

The program is fundamentally governed by a robust legal framework, primarily stemming from the Horizon Europe program and supported by several key EU regulations and guidance documents, ensuring transparency and adherence to European policies.
