Megawave Project
Harvesting wave energy, an XXL project
High potential for energy recovery per occupied sea surface:
1 km2
of surface occupied
1GW
of effective power capable of continuously producing
Tide insensitivity
Insensitivity to wave direction and frequency variation
Positioning for safety in case of heavy storms
Easy coupling of a generator set to achieve high power
Anchoring and connection system common to several machines Heavy maintenance facilitated by return to shore
System to promote marine biodiversity
The 10 GW offshore wind project in France is:
1800 km² of occupied sea
With what impact on activities: fishing, maritime traffic, national defence, yachting, etc.?
What about acceptability?
Conversely, 10GW Megawave is nearly 100 times less, i.e.:
15 km² of occupied sea
