Innovative technologies and solutions to improve wave and tidal energy systems

In short

This is an Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €43 million for about 1 grant of €43 million each. Submission opens on 3 December 2026. Deadline: 31 March 2027.

What the call wants to achieve

• Advance in the realisation of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan’s research and innovation priorities and targets for ocean energy
• Energy producers and consumers benefit from increased performance of wave and tidal energy technologies with the focus on efficiency and flexibility, reduced cost, improved reliability and sustainability, operation and maintenance, robustness and security during all stages of the lifetime of an ocean energy farm from (…)
• Efficient and effective support to ocean energy research and innovation through alignment and cooperation among different actors, avoiding fragmentation of efforts providing effectively a significant developmental boost of wave and tidal energy technologies.
• Increased contribution of ocean energy to the energy system, with minimal impacts on health and the environment (notably biodiversity) and at the lowest possible cost.
