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.
