In 2016 the European Commission has strengthened its support for the development of ocean energy technologies. Ocean energy is expected to contribute to decarbonisation of the EU energy system by providing up to 10% of the European electricity needs by 2050 [Ocean Energy Forum 2016], and to help maintaining Europe’s leading role in the development of renewable energy technologies.
