Nowadays, wave energy is being investigated and developed in a major way in Europe. The usage of a
proved technology and the advantages of natural resources make the use of wave energy profitable,
specially in energetically isolated areas.
Several plants are now working in several countries. The generated energy is converted in electric and
potential energy or high pressures for seawater desalination, depending on the demand.
The costs of obtaining energy will be reduced to a minimum by using the places with a maximum wave
surge concentration, setting systems in breakwaters and taking advantage of the existing infrastructure.
