The vision for DanWEC is to create a complete development and knowledge environment, which in as many areas as possible supports the efforts to develop wave energy as a competitive renewable energy form.

DanWEC is more than a physical framework for testing and developing wave energy converters. The center will be able to assist wave power developers through all essential parts of the process, e.g. when it comes to contact with authorities and other partners, practical matters regarding permits, installations and much more.

Here, DanWEC benefits from being centrally located in relation to the authorities. It guarantees effective regulatory action. The close contact with the research community at Aalborg University and with the entire wave power sector also has advantages that will benefit wave power developers.

DanWEC can offer:

Legal matters:

DanWEC will be able to help your organization with the preparation of a contract, guidance on how to obtain permits, safety approvals and mooring equipment certificate.
