Wavepiston announces the conclusion of its Wave Energy in Barbados (WEB) project, marking the end of the pre-feasibility study.
After 6 months of dedicated effort between Wavepiston and Export Barbados (BIDC) we announce the conclusion of our Wave Energy in Barbados (WEB) project, marking the end of the pre-feasibility study.
The initiative sought to harness the untapped potential of wave energy along Barbados’ coastline to diversify the islands renewable energy portfolio and accelerate its climate ambitions.
WEB concluded the feasibility of Wavepiston wave energy farms along Barbados’ Atlantic coast and provided valuable insights into the technical, environmental and economic challenges that need to be overcome. The project also contributed to Wavepiston’s broader understanding of wave energy potential in small island developing states (SIDS).
The project team is determined to continue the development of wave energy farms in Barbados as WEB laid the groundwork for future opportunities.
WEB received funding from the European Union through the Eureka Innowwide programme.
