2010 presentation conclusions:
• Technology developers need to be aware of cost targets and chase them as part of their technology requirements (e.g. €1m / MW quayside)
• 2010: Capital grant scheme required to support technology developers & investors through the current phase of experiment & demonstration.
– Maximise benefit to Ireland by supporting location of activity here.
• 2015: Increase initial tariff to €300 / MWh to compete with 5 rocs.– Leverage support from investors and utilities to locate early projects
with energy production in Ireland and to promote Irish supply chain.
• 2020: Use existing tariff of €220 / MWh to support the building of an economy of scale in Ireland.
• Beyond 2020: Expect long term cost of energy to become competitive with Offshore Wind, approaching €100/MWh as industry scales up.

2020: Achieving Economies of Scale
MWh payments at risk to project developer
• First circa 50MW large farm (possibly expansions of earlier consented sites)
• Using TRL 9 verified technology (type certified) – significant in-service data:– Credible reliability & availability projections for future project assumptions– Extended economic life and improved energy production assumptions.
• Amortisation of vessel hire and marine infrastructure costs over larger project.
• Some technology innovation around cost reduction.

2030: Commercial Farms
MWh payments at risk to project developer
Long term electricity markets? Export infrastructure? Long term cost of carbon? Energy security premium?
• 50-100 MW large arrays
• Using TRL 9 verified technology already applied in large arrays – Proven technology.
• Dedicated infrastructure developed for target sites – Ports, Vessels, Grid,etc.
• Dedicated and competitive component and technical services supply chain.
• Significant Technology Innovation

Summary:• The WestWave project has showed that previous targets for 2015 pre-commercial
projects in Ireland are still on track.
• WestWave is a vital step in commercialising technology, developing an Irish supply chain and opening the Irish wave energy market for further investment.
• Grant support, REFIT and NER300 are essential components of delivering the pre-commercial WestWave project as it is currently envisaged.
• Up to 60% of the initial WestWave investment will be private finance based on MWh attracting REFIT and NER300 tariffs.
• REFIT payments will be spread over the period 2016 to 2027 and conditional on MWh produced.
• If energy production targets are met, total Irish state contributions to the project could approach 60% of total project costs.
• Technology developers continue to innovate and target commercial costs.
