Construction continues for French full-scale wave energy demonstrator
Wave-Op, a joint venture between the Legendre Group and Geps Techno dedicated to innovation in coastal and port infrastructure, is progressing the construction of its first full-scale demonstrator for what it describes as a unique wave-powered system, combining coastal protection and renewable electricity generation in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. The company expects to step up the port infrastructure decarbonization game with this project.
The approval for the construction of the Dike Wave Energy (Dikwe) project’s full-scale demonstrator in the municipalities of Boulogne-sur-Mer and Le Portel came in March 2025. With the support of the Hauts-de-France Region and ADEME, it is expected to serve as a basis for experimentation and in-depth research on wave energy technologies, environmental monitoring, and the development of new industrial applications.
Wave-Op explains that it aims to develop solutions that protect coastlines while
