Content: This piece of work presents the methodology developed and based on a Suitability Index (II) to examine the adaptation of different locations to wave energy collection installations, the application of these installations on the Basque Country's coastal shelf (between the coastline and a depth of 100 metres) and the results obtained in the estimate of energy potentials as well as the spatial distribution of these installations.

Errata (for discharges before 02/02/2010): In the initial publication of this document, due to a typographical error, in conclusions paragraph said that, at depths near 60 m, the annual energy maximum accessible potential is 2 TWh. The real value is 12 TWh.
