5km off the Atlantic coastline of northern Portugal

This multiple Pelamis units build up at the Aguçadoura wave farm is both the world’s first, multi-unit, wave farm and also the first for commercial order for wave energy converters. as well Enersis have issued a letter of purpose to PWP for a extra 20 MW of Pelamis equipment to increase the initial Aguçadoura development to a larger scheme. expansion work for the second phase project is already on going. The Aguçadoura wave energy project in Portugal is supported by a specific feed-in tariff currently equivalent to approximately €0.23/kWh. This project is possible with the collaboration of national companies like EFACEC and EDP.
