This initiative that Iberdrola aboards will allow to generate business starting from the development of a source of renewable energy, to create opportunities of growth and industrial rationalization in the Basque country, as well as to support the use of the energy resource in the coast of this community. Both companies plan to dedicate around 4,5 millions € to this project. It is foreseen that the system of energy generation is built and passes the technical verification in the sea through the year 2009. Iberdrola will participate in Oceantec through Perseo, the investment promoting company recently started up by the Company. Equipped with an annual budget of 6 millions €, has as main objective to support projects of high technological value in the field of the renewable energies and the environment. In this line, this investment promoting companie contemplates to analyze initiatives and companies that outline new ways of taking advantage of the sources of renewable energy, of maximizing its yield and of optimizing its cost. This way, Perseo will put the view, among other focuses, in companies specialized in the use of the marine energies, area where Iberdrola is already developing projects in Spain (Santoña) and Scotland (Orkney Islands). Also, Perseo will try to identify investment opportunities for Iberdrola in the mark of the biotechnology that can contribute solutions to the problems outlined in the current energy context through the creation of new fuels and of the capture of CO2.
