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 downloads prior to 2 February 2010): In the original publication of this document, due to a typographical error, the ‘Conclusions’ section stated that the maximum accessible annual energy potential was 2 TWh at depths of around 60 m. The correct figure is 12 TWh.
