Calculations by Ocean Energy Europe based on Ocean Energy Centre – Chalmers University of Technology (2012) estimate that 120GW of wave capacity can be deployed in the EU,
9GW of which in Sweden alone. DCENR (Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (2014). Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan: http://www.dccae. gov.ie/energy/en-ie/Renewable-Energy/Pages/OREDP-Landing-Page) estimates that
14GW of wave and 3GW of tidal stream capacity can be deployed in Ireland alone.
In a scenario where France is powered exclusively with renewable electricity in 2050 by ADEME (Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Energie (2016). Un mix électrique 100 % renouvelable ? Analyses et optimisations: http://www.ademe.fr/mix-electrique-100-renouvelable-analyses-optimisations),
10GW of wave and 3GW of tidal stream capacity can be deployed.
WavEC estimates (2016) there is a 5GW potential for wave energy deployment in Portugal. Pfluger et al., (2011) estimate that 14GW to 26GW of wave and tidal stream capacity can be deployed in Europe, even if not all technological barriers are overcome.
