Successive energy crises make it clear that Europe must rapidly reduce its reliance on imported fuels and accelerate the deployment of homegrown renewables. Scaling up the next generation of innovative renewable technologies (iRETs), such as geothermal, next-generation solar and wind, as well as ocean energy, is essential to complement established renewables and deliver a future-proof energy system.

Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Who they are
Among the 1205 trade and business associations on this site, they rank #427 by legislative files engaged — a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

What they argued
Ocean energy is at a decisive moment in Europe. 15 publicly supported pre-commercial farms are set to be deployed by 2030. Several Member States have committed to large-scale deployment, showing the sector is ready for industrialisation. Europe can lock in global leadership by being the first continent to industrialise ocean energy.
LEVERAGE OCEAN ENERGY TO LOWER SYSTEM COSTS Reaching zero emissions by 2050 requires a massive scale-up of renewable power production. While wind and solar will generate the bulk of Europe's electricity, other renewable sources are needed to balance the system when there is less wind or sun. Ocean energy is a perfect companion to variable renewables.
To reach climate neutrality by 2050, and to strengthen Europes global leadership in renewables, new innovations must be brought to market this decade. Renewables acceleration areas will be crucial in deploying the demonstration and pre-commercial projects that are needed for emerging technologies to get to industrial roll-out.
