Wave power plants are a promising, but yet immature technology
for renewable electricity. Denmark is hosting 7 demonstration
plants at sea based on 5 different concepts and is thereby
positioned in the top 5 development countries in the world.
The development work in Denmark is currently focusing on
development of technology concepts and conducting sea tests of
large scale models. Another promising development perspective is
synergy effects with offshore wind farms. There are currently
(spring 2009) 7 wave power plants with permissions to test in
Danish seas.
