De-risking wave energy technology development through transnational pre-commercial procurement
Pays a consortium of public buyers to jointly procure wave-energy R&D services and de-risk wave energy converters through pre-commercial procurement.
To even bid into the eventual tender, a wave-energy developer's technology must already evidence satisfactory completion of Stage 3 activities under the EuropeWave stage-gate process, roughly TRL 6, whether or not that earlier stage ran through EuropeWave itself; a phased approach can let a developer qualify progressively for the Stage 4 selection instead of applying in one shot. The buyers' conso…
The Commission wants a joint pre-commercial procurement (PCP) action that brings wave energy converters from around TRL 6 to TRL 7/8, building on the EuropeWave PCP’s stage-gate process. It wants the funded buyers’ group to run a single joint procurement procedure that puts two full-scale devices through a year-long sea trial.
