Multi-source offshore renewable energy parks, where wave & offshore solar energy are integrated in an offshore wind park, are greatly beneficial to the energy transition. Understanding that the large-scale deployment of such parks is largely dependent on the right policy frameworks and on efficient engagement with local  stakeholders, the Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC), POM […]

A flagship wave energy study led by the two leading European universities has found that wave power could become cost-competitive with offshore wind by the 2030s at favourable locations. Experts from LUT University School of Energy Systems, Finland, recently joined forces with the Marine Renewable Energies Lab, Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences at Delft […]

As a major milestone for the EU-SCORES project and the entire offshore renewable energy sector, Oceans of Energy has successfully initiated the North Sea Three (NS3) offshore solar farm in Belgium with its in-port assembly. The NS3 offshore solar demonstrator is planned to become the first grid connected offshore solar farm in the world, at […]

The EU-SCORES project is proud to announce our second edition of the stakeholder engagement event on 1 & 2 July, focusing on accelerating offshore multi-source energy parks. Registration for the stakeholder event on 2 July is now open! On July 2nd the local stakeholder event will be hosted by POM West-Vlaanderen at Bluebridge, Ostend. During […]

During the WindEurope conference in Bilbao 20-22 March, WavEC Offshore Renewables presented the poster ‘Learning rates for the development and scale-up of hybrid offshore wind systems’ for the EU-SCORES project. The poster emphasizes the potential of hybrid farms to enhance the consistency and profile of energy generation. It highlights their potential to improve energy generation consistency […]

In the EU-SCORES project we are working with game-changing innovations for developing multi-source offshore energy parks. In the new EU-SCORES interview series we are proud to present these innovators, paving the way for our future renewable energy system. Episode 1: Swedish wave energy company CorPower Ocean. In this first interview, CorPower Ocean’s CEO Patrik Möller discusses with Benjamin Lehner, […]

28 and 29 November, EU-SCORES will join the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference in Amsterdam. The audience of offshore energy leaders and experts can learn more about the project at the DMEC pavilion and at a wide range of promotional activities: The project will be showcased at the DMEC Pavilion, including company representation of Oceans of […]

Multi-source offshore energy parks will use offshore space more efficiently and balance the electricity grid to achieve a resilient and cost-effective 100% renewable energy system. In this virtual reality video, the EU-SCORES project showcases the combination of offshore wind with wave energy (CorPower Ocean) and offshore solar energy (Oceans of Energy) to boost energy reliability […]

23-27 October 2023, EU-SCORES partners gathered in ‘City by the Sea’ The Hague to combine the fourth consortium meeting with the Ocean Energy Europe conference. A glimpse of our activities: For more information: benjamin@dutchmarineenergy.com Website Ocean Energy Europe Conference 2023

As part of the EU-SCORES project, a study has been done on the optimal ratio of wind-solar energy converters in a hybrid power plant to achieve as efficient power smoothening as possible. The resulting configuration is the one that is able to achieve constant power output with minimum stored energy. In the study, it is […]

7 September 2023 As a major milestone for the EU-SCORES project and the entire marine energy sector, EU-SCORES project partner CorPower Ocean has installed its first commercial scale wave energy converter in northern Portugal. The CorPower C4 device was launched in the port of Viana do Castello, before being towed to the Aguçadoura site located […]

25 May 2023 By Anton Schaap, Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC) The countries around the North Sea are building out a renewable energy system at a remarkable speed. Especially wind and solar capacity is added fast. In the Ostend Declaration of energy ministers, the energy ministers of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, […]

The EU-SCORES project is one important step further  in realising bankable multi-source offshore energy parks across Europe. The project got an official GO from CINEA. The official ‘GO’ means that there is a green light for both demonstrations of CorPower Ocean and Oceans of Energy at the respective test sites WavEC and Blue Accelerator. All […]

Energy multi-use parks where wave- and offshore solar energy is integrated in offshore wind parks can mitigate the current climate, energy, and biodiversity crises. Making use of renewable energy sources, the electricity produced is carbon-free. By generating energy locally off the coast, energy independence and security can also be increased. Furthermore, other uses such as […]

On 24th and 25th January 2023, the EU-SCORES project will be hosting its first Stakeholder Engagement Event. The event will be focussed on multi-use and will take place at the Marine Energy Hub in The Hague, the Netherlands. As part of the event, the project is hosting a Policy Summit on Multi-use on 24th January. […]

Co-location of offshore wind, wave and offshore solar energy in multi-source energy parks could lead to unprecedented LCOE reduction and improves the efficient use of marine space. This conclusion is presented in the report ‘LCOE Analysis for Baseline Project Scenarios’ by EU-SCORES project partner Exceedence in collaboration with CorPower Ocean, Oceans of Energy, Dutch Marine […]

The EU-SCORES project is well underway to unlock the large-scale potential of wind, wave and offshore solar systems. Starting in September 2021, the project already completed important milestones in its first year: – Kicking-off at the Marine Energy Hub in The Hague in September 2021. At the hybrid kick-off event, all project partners came together […]

Floating offshore solar and wave energy will play an important role in defossilisation of islands and countries with restricted land area, like the Maldives.

The €45 million marine energy project - European SCalable Offshore Renewable Energy Sources (EU-SCORES) - will pave the way for bankable hybrid offshore parks across Europe by 2025.
