Electricity from waves

Electricity

Wave power represents the final frontier within the renewable energy sector, and in recent years technological and commercial developments have accelerated at an unprecedented pace.

Governments and international institutions are now paying close attention to the sector – The European Union has set ambitious deployment targets of 1 GW of wave energy by 2030 and 40 GW by 2050.

Wave energy is available almost 24/7, it is more predictable than wind and integrates effectively into a renewable energy mix dominated by wind and solar. It therefore contributes significantly to grid stability and energy security.

The worldwide energy resource of wave energy is more than 29,500 TWh per year, while the total amount of electricity consumed worldwide in 2024 was 27 000 TWh according to the International Energy Agency.

Applying a modular design concept, Exowave Wave Energy Converters are clustered for configuration of system capacity.

Positioned in the water surface and below, the visual impact of Exowave power plants is greatly reduced compared to PV farms or wind turbines.

Designed for Resilience

The ocean is powerful – and our technology is built to match it. Our commitment to resilience ensures reliable energy generation in some of the world’s most demanding environments – delivering dependable power when it matters most.

Smart Monitoring Systems – Real-Time Performance Data And Predictive Diagnostics Increase Performance And Reduce Downtime.
Optimized Performance With Smart And Real-Time Monitoring Systems

How it works

Exowave power plants consist of clusters of 0.35MW Wave Energy Converters, supplying pressurized seawater in a cluster to hydro turbines of min. 10 MW.

The hydro turbines can be located onshore or offshore, mounted above water on a monopile, or integrated within an offshore wind turbine structure — converting hydraulic power into of electricity.

If available, the electrical infrastructure may also share subsea export cables with offshore wind installations for supply to the power grid.

In case of the design as a stand-alone wave energy farm system, an independent landfall connection supplies the electricity to the onshore grid.

Sustainable Impact

Wave energy represents one of the most untapped renewable resources on Earth.
By transforming wave motion into electricity or freshwater, Exowave helps accelerate the global transition to resilient, low-carbon energy systems.

Our plants are designed to deliver meaningful environmental and economic benefits:
