Here's a better translation by Google, particluarly the link with DCNS. Seems pretty clear to me. Surely it cant be right, particularly the funding - why wouldnt we have heard about it? 3mill euros is about AU$5.3mill.


"François Fillon has officially signed two agreements, put on the table 8 million under the plan. They will go to research and development in marine energy. Five million are earmarked for the proposed ocean thermal energy, including a demonstrator should move off the Port in 2014. This technology, which produces electricity from the temperature differential between surface water and deep (1 000 to 1 500 m). Buoyed by the first European shipbuilder, the project will benefit more in state aid paid to the Region as co-owner, 667 000 euros in the community. DCNS will also 1 million in this pre-commercial phase. The rest of the package announced by the Prime Minister, or 3 million, was assigned to the project KETO. It is covered by EDF Energy and new technology is to produce energy through the swell. The research and development program will be complemented by 150 000 in funds from the Region and of the Region and 1 million from the electrician France. "It's DCNS, which is technical project manager, said Patrick Charignon, CEO of EDF EN. We have not yet the location of the submerged buoy in swell even if Saint-Pierre offers good performance. "We plan to make water a demonstrator in 2010 and generate electricity in 2012."
