Mission
EVE (Ente Vasco de la Energía) is the energy agency of the Basque
Government. Its mission is:
to propose energy strategies for the Basque Country, based on criteria of
supply security, cost competitiveness, sustainability and technological
development; and
to take active part in developing these strategies and to contribute to
delivering the related targets.
To deliver these objectives, EVE provides a service to the Basque
Government Department of Economic Development and Competitiveness in
matters of energy and geological and mining resources and participates in
projects, involving companies and public sector bodies. Furthermore, EVE
raises public awareness of the criteria and values behind its strategies.

In the Basque Country, EnergiBasque forms part of the
3E2020 Strategy and provides input to the PCTI 2015
(Science, Technology & Innovation Plan) in terms of the key
technological and business development areas of the energy
sector to be delivered.

bimep:
Biscay Marine Energy Platform
10
Introduction
The bimep (Biscay Marine Energy
Platform) is an ocean infrastructure
for the testing, demonstration,
research into and operation of
offshore Wave Energy Converters
(WEC) on the open sea.
In the short-medium term, bimep
could be extended to provide
services to offshore wind energy
(“floating” solutions).
This infrastructure provides wave
energy device manufacturers with
ready-to-use facilities to validate
their designs and to test their
technical and economic feasibility.
Open-sea facilities help to reduce
demonstration costs and technological
risks and uncertainties
The Basque coast, and specifically
the location of bimep off the coast of
Armintza (Bizkaia), offers suitable
wave conditions.
Contribute to the challenge of
lowering the cost of energy

Management Structure
Biscay Marine Energy Platform, S.A.
A company established in December 2011
to develop, install, operate and manage the
bimep facilities.
The development and construction of this
infrastructure will amount to a total
investment of €20 million.

bimep is due to become operational towards the end of 2013 once one of the most
complicated technical stages (the supply and installation of subsea power lines and
onshore cables) has been successfully concluded.
The day-to-day running of the infrastructure will require the provision of specialised
services, including:
navigation safety services, and
testing and research services.
For this purpose, bimep plans to open different public tenders.

Route through bimep
All previous relevant issues have been taken into consideration to optimise
interaction with technology developers.
Establishing a close dialogue between developers and bimep to define the scope of
the testing programme.
Information exchange, leading to:

an internal feasibility analysis, mainly focused on technology readiness;
an independent assessment of device design, construction, operational plans and contingency
measures; and
a readiness review prior to installation.
bimep will monitor marine operations during installation,
decommissioning according to developers’ plans and procedures.

bimep in operation: Service Portfolio (1)
Build a comprehensive but flexible service portfolio to respond to the
individual needs of technology developers and speed up the development
of the marine energy sector as a whole.
Testing, demonstration and research services.
Some of the services will be provided before contract signature (e.g. detailed metocean and geophysical data or the internal feasibility analysis).
Basic services will be charged on the basis of the device footprint, installed power
and test programme duration
Advanced services will be charged on the basis of the scope of activity agreed on
with the developer in the contract.

Conclusions and final comments
The Basque Government-EVE is committed to the development of
marine energy (offshore wind, wave, etc.): 3E-2020 Energy Strategy,
PCTI 2015, Energibasque, ....
“bimep” will play a key role in speeding up that development.
“bimep” will provide useful knowledge that will contribute to
reducing barriers, uncertainties and fears for future marine
renewable energy projects.
The consent process has provided extremely useful feedback to
improve the project design. Concerns about environmental impact
and navigational safety have driven the development of these
documents:
Environmental Monitoring and Surveillance Plan
Protocol to Manage Navigational Risks
Guidance Document on Safety Considerations
Finally, an operational route has been defined. “bimep” will provide a
comprehensive set of services aimed at speeding up the
development of marine energy technologies.
