Potential for wave energy per Km of coast
Theoretically you can extract 40 MW of power per km of coast where there are gentle waves (say 1 M height) and 1000 MW per km of coast where the wave height is 5 M. - Read More

Galway to be site of Ireland’s first wave energy generator
The Oranmore-based Marine Institute and Sustainable Energy Ireland have launched a plan to open a wave energy test site off the coast of Spiddal. The 37-hectare site, which will be approximately a mile and a half off the Galway coast, will be available for entrepreneurs and engineers to test prototype ocean energy generators. This marks the first visible step in a national programme to become leaders in ocean energy technology. - Read More
