Welcome to EuropeWave
An innovative R&D programme for wave energy technology
EuropeWave is an innovative R&D programme for wave energy technology. It will combine almost €20 million of national, regional and EU funding to drive a competitive Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) programme for wave energy.
Originally pioneered by Wave Energy Scotland, this PCP model provides a structured approach, fostering greater openness, collaboration and sharing of risk between the public sector and technology developers. The programme will focus on the design, development, and demonstration of cost-effective wave energy converter (WEC) systems for electrical power production that can survive in the harsh and unpredictable ocean environment.
Latest news
IDOM has successfully completed the deployment of its modified MARMOK-A-5 device, a prototype floating wave energy converter (WEC) designed to harness sustainable renewable energy from ocean waves. The device will feature a newly commissioned power take-off (PTO) system developed by IDOM, incorporating all the experience and lessons learned from previous testing campaigns.
The EuropeWave side event was successfully held during the OEE 2025 conference on 5 Nov 2025, sharing the wave energy projects news during the Phase 3 of EuropeWave’s PCP funding programme.
IDOM has successfully completed the commissioning of a novel Power Take-Off (PTO) system, which is now set to undergo an extensive testing campaign at the Mutriku wave power plant. Over the next six weeks, the air turbine will be tested to validate its performance and reliability in real-world conditions, with the goal of de-risking its future offshore deployment.
