Description
For a long time, offshore renewable energy was primarily associated with wind power. Tidal and wave energy remained on the sidelines, seen as promising but still immature. However, in the context of accelerating the energy transition and the need for a diversified energy mix, these technologies are now generating renewed interest.
Can we imagine a future for them similar to that of solar energy, which has transformed from a marginal technology to a cornerstone of the energy mix in just two decades?
What conditions are necessary for tidal and wave energy to attract investors? And how can energy companies respond?
