Swedish wave energy company Seabased has unveiled plans to build a 10MW wave power park at Audierne Bay, located in the French region of Brittany.
In the race to commercialize wave energy, the Brittany region in France may plant a flag as home to Europe’s first utility scale commercial wave energy park.Namely, with the support of the region, Seabased plans to build a utility-scale wave energy park that will be connected to the French grid, starting with a 2MW pilot that will later be scaled up to 10MW.
Loïg Chesnais-Girard, president of the Regional Council of Brittany, said: “The Region of Brittany is pleased to support this particularly innovative commercial project which will contribute to the production of competitive renewable energy along the coast of Brittany”.
For Seabased, the opportunity to install its soon-to-be-unveiled commercial system in Audierne bay is said to be ideal. Seabased is already working with Brittany-based ENAG, a company that specializes in energy conversion, which has built the electrical system for Seabased’s technology - link
