📢The SAFEWAVE project’s deliverable on “Identifying suitable areas for developing wave energy projects in the European Atlantic region” is now available on our website.
The main objective of the present deliverable is the identification and characterization of suitable areas for the development of wave energy projects in the context of Maritime Spatial Planning in the European Atlantic region (Spain, Portugal, France, and Ireland). We provide suitability maps for each country. The results indicate that there is enough space in the European Atlantic region to develop new wave energy farms for the achievement of predefined objectives and that if planned properly and with caution, those developments would fulfil industrial requirements, and would be developed in areas with the lowest environmental risks and limited or no conflicts with other activities.
