DCNS Energies, the next global player in MRE

On 6 January, DCNS and three partners set up DCNS Energies, a new company specialising in emerging technologies to generate electricity from marine renewable energies.

To set up DCNS Energies, naval systems group DCNS and sovereign fund Bpifrance joined forces with offshore engineering group Technip and development investor BNP Paribas Développement. The new company aims to develop France’s industrial base in MRE and market its products. The main focus will be on tidal turbines, floating offshore wind turbines, and ocean thermal energy conversion plants.
