How to progress– Increase demonstration at sea

(Only real sea operation will allow to identify the best(Only real sea operation will allow to identify the best solutions - reliability and costs)

– Improve materials, components and power take-offImprove materials, components and power take off equipment(Failures to date are related to components and not the basic concept)

– Improve design, monitoring and control methods and tools for single devices and farmstools for single devices and farms(Demonstration at sea is very expensive and risky)

– Improve fabrication deployment O&M methods andImprove fabrication, deployment, O&M methods and tools, including support vessels(Cost reductions by a factor of 3 are to be attained)

• Development of Ocean Energy is taking longer, being harder and more expensive than anticipated, with the technology possibly

• EU MS targets for Ocean Energy are very ambitious

• Portugal needs to consolidate a persistent and consistent approach to Offshore Energy
