CorPower Ocean brings reliable and competitive wave energy technology to the world, unlocking one of the largest untapped sources of renewable energy - harnessing the natural power of the oceans to help us tackle climate change and achieve a sustainable low-carbon future.
Enabling 100% renewables
Adding wave energy to the energy mix is an attractive way to balance our future electricity systems, making it a key component to enable the transition to 100% renewables. A consistent, highly predictable and complementary power production profile offers an efficient solution to fill out the gaps where solar and wind do not produce enough when there is still a demand for power. Natural grid balancing by wave energy is a competitive solution to reduce the amount of battery and hydrogen storage needed to balance our electricity systems in a deeply decarbonized future.

Our Wave Energy Converters (WECs) offer survivability in the toughest storm conditions combined with efficient harvesting of electricity in normal wave conditions. The technology has shown breakthrough results through a structured five-stage product verification program since 2012, bringing a step-change improvement to the structural efficiency and competitiveness of wave energy. Advanced control technology offers large amounts of energy to be harvested using small low-cost devices, significantly reducing the equipment (CAPEX) cost per MW. The compact lightweight WECs are also easy to install and maintain using low-cost vessels, bringing down operational (OPEX) costs.
CorPower offers wave energy technology and wave farm design services that enable our customers to produce clean electricity from our oceans.
