Introduction to EVE
Ente Vasco de la Energía (EVE) is the energy agency serving the Basque
Government's Department of Economic Development and Competitiveness.
Instrument for implementing the Basque Energy Strategy (3E-2020).
Areas of activity in the energy area:
• Rational use of energy (Energy Efficiency, CHP, etc.).
• Renew ables (Small hydro, biomass, solar thermoelectric and photovoltaic,
w ind, marine, geothermal, etc.).
• Diversification (energy sources and reserves).
Forms of action:
• Energy agency.
• Participation in all aspects of the projects: technical, economic,
management, etc.
European forums in w hich EVE participates:
• European Ocean Energy Association
• Fedarene

Marine energy strategy
The energy strategy for 2020 is deployed through three energy areas
Energy Technological
Consumer
Markets & Industrial
Sectors
& Supply Development

Strategy in marine energy
The mission of the Technological & Industrial Development area of the
3E2020 strategy is…
“ To support the consolidation of a competitive netw ork of science-
technology companies and agents w ithin the energy industry, w hich
w ill contribute to the sustainability of the Basque economy and
develop as a source of w ealth, employment and quality of life for the
Basque country over coming decades”
… w ith the fundamental aim of…
“ turning the Basque Country into an international know ledge hub and
a reference for industrial development in the energy industry”
6
Strategy in marine energy
Overall objectives
I. To consolidate Basque business-generating companies as
technological reference points in their respective energy areas,
creating a magnet effect throughout the value chain that centres on
high-value-added products.
II. To develop business activities in new emerging energy areas, in
w hich both industry and the science-technology agents already have
a solid technological base that can act as a launch pad.
III. Starting from the investments made under the 3E2020, to generate
new energy opportunities and markets that the Basque business
w orld can take advantage of.

Preparing Basque Industry
Collaboration w ith Energy Cluster (energy and maritime
industries):
• GTEO (Wave pow er w orking group):
1. Meeting point for the industry (strategies, projects R&D, etc.)
2. 7 meetings (2 per year)
3. 50-60 participants from 30 companies per meeting
In coordination w ith:
• Cluster London 2012
• Basque Science and Technology Netw ork
• University of the Basque Country
Frankfurt 2013
Dublin 2012

bimep project:
• AIMS:
Open infrastructure on w hich manufacturers of marine energy -collector
systems can install their equipment, either for production/demonstration
(pow er generation) or for tests and trials.
To position the Basque Country as an international leader and generate a
technological, industrial and social sector around this energy type.

R&D projects:
• To promote, through collaboration betw een Basque R&D companies and centres
(support in GTEO):
1. “ Uhindar” :
a) Led by Iberdrola and Oceantec
(10 Basque companies participating)
b) Development of converter w ith OWC Technology
(similar to Mutriku)
2. Flottek:
a) Led by Gamesa.
b) Development of floating platforms for
offshore w ind
3. Strategic research project (ETORTEK programme) by Tecnalia on offshore
pow er.

International projects:
• Aims:
1. To bring marine energy onto the government agendas (EU, etc.) (SET- Plan,
R&D aid programmes, etc.)
2. Benchmarking w ith other international organisations
3. Financing of part of our actions
• Projects:
1. MARINET (Seventh European Framew ork Programme for R&D). Network of
European marine energy research installations of excellence.
2. Atlantic Power Cluster (INTERREG). Cooperation on transnational marine
energy strategy betw een Atlantic Arc regions.
3. ERANET. European programme designed to foster coordination of regional
and national R&D programmes from different countries w ith the idea of
having research projects by international consortia subsidised by each
region.
16Actions
Dissemination activities:
• International Symposia (4)
• ICOE 2010
• UK and Norw ay Encounters
• Bilbao Marine Energy Week
Attendance at joint fairs (promotion of
companies):
• All Energy (Aberdeen 2010)
• EWEA (Amsterdam 2011)
• Renew ables UK (London 2012)
• ICOE 2012 (Dublin 2012)
• EWEA (Frankfurt 2013)
17Conclusions
The 3E2020 Plan marks a major step forw ard in the creation of a
comprehensive strategy aimed at taking advantage of major energy
challenges –such as marine energy– to create a great opportunity for the
Basque industrial sector.
The principal aim is to prepare this sector for this new challenge:
• Consolidating a benchmark science and technology offer
• Creating a value chain: proposal on equipment, components and
services
• Attracting developers and technologists w ith the ultimate aim of
activating an economy and industry in the marine energy sector,
taking advantage of the magnet effect of research infrastructures
such as bimep
Actions w ill continue to be carried out in different domains to encourage,
disseminate and support the technological development of this emerging
energy industry.
