The EU-backed Foresea programme has launched a second call for marine energy support package applications.
Successful applicants for the Foresea (Funding Ocean Renewable Energy through Strategic European Action) programme will be able to freely test marine energy technologies in real sea conditions at the project’s network of centres.
Testing will take place at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Ireland’s SmartBay, Sem-Rev in France or the Tidal Testing Centre in the Netherlands.
The first round saw 10 technology developers ‘recommended for support’.
The second call was formally launched at the Ocean Energy Europe 2016 Conference in Brussels by EMEC managing director Neil Kermode.
