FEDER OPAL’EEL
EEL ENERGY has just been awarded by the Hauts de France region and its President, Xavier Bertrand, an aid in the framework of the European funds FEDER.
This €950K grant is for its “Opal’EEL” project, which covers the design, assembly and testing on a test site of a 30KW undulating membrane tidal turbine prototype.
This mark of confidence further strengthens the anchoring of the project in the Hauts de France region, with a location in Boulogne sur Mer which allows the project to be close to its test site in Gravelines at Aquanord, where all the tests are conducted. The project will allow the finalisation of small-scale machines of 3 to 5KW. It is important to prove that the machines run for several months without maintenance before designing 30-50 kW machines. The project will allow the launching of a commercial machine of 30KW mini in the region or in France.
ENCORE project
Aim
The aim of the ENCORE project is to advance four offshore renewable energy technologies (including wave energy convertors, tidal and river current turbines and offshore floating solar) in a structured and collaborative process and to develop open-source tools & services to facilitate the accelerated commercialisation of offshore energy solutions for islands, harbours, estuaries and offshore structures with a focus on 2SEAS region and export.
Results
It is expected that the ENCORE project will result in bankable solutions, jobs, export opportunities, increased competitiveness and as such contribute to cleaner climate.
Financial support
ENCORE is managed by Bluespring on behalf of Dutch Marine Energy Centre and receives funding from the Interreg 2 Seas programme 2014-2020, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund under subsidy contract No 2S08-004. Also the provinces of South and North Holland and Zeeland are offering financial support. Other partners are the European Marine Energy Centre, Bureau Veritas, Artelia, Deftiq, University of Ghent, Teamwork Technology, Water2Energy, Oceans of Energy, EEL Energy, Bluespring, Inyanga Marine Projects.
