We were delighted to feature on The Big Green Show with CEO Patrik Möller sharing the story behind CorPower Ocean.

From demonstrating our technology at full scale to building a new industry around wave energy, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn an ambitious vision into a commercial reality.

As the world looks for more reliable, scalable sources of clean electricity to meet growing energy demand, wave energy has an important role to play alongside wind and solar, helping to deliver a more balanced and predictable renewable energy mix.

A big thank you to Alexander Bigge Lidgren for taking the time to explore our technology, our journey and the challenge of scaling production.

Portugal’s Deputy Minister of Energy Jean Barroca visited CorPower Ocean in Viana do Castelo to see first-hand the world leading wave energy technology.

The commercial scale C4 Wave Energy Converter, has since 2023 successfully demonstrated grid-connected electricity generation and proven its resilience by surviving Atlantic storm conditions with waves exceeding 18 meters.

The visit featured a comprehensive tour of our facilities, including the factory cell where our composite hulls are manufactured, the assembly and test hall, and our wave farm Control Centre.

The next major milestone is the expansion to a 15 MW wave energy farm. Featuring a CorPack array of 45 Wave Energy Converters, the project is expected to generate approximately 45 GWh of renewable electricity annually off Portugal’s northern coast. With around 75% of the project’s lifetime value provided by Portuguese industry VianaWave will establish a new industry spanning manufacturing, engineering, installation and operations.

Wave energy offers predictable and consistent power that enables industry and data centers to run on clean firm power around the clock, at competitive cost levels. This is a critical competitive advantage for Iberia, while a diverse 24/7 clean power mix also provides energy security and resilience.

Powering the AI era: How wave energy enables affordable 24/7 clean power for data centers.

Today, Cisco highlights breakthrough findings from CorPower Ocean’s study, showing how wave energy can reduce the cost of clean electricity for data centers by more than 25%. Wave Energy is now a proven technology, ready to be deployed at scale.

The white paper by CorPower Ocean, a Cisco Investments portfolio company, explores how wave energy can power the AI era and, crucially, how it can help enable 24/7 clean power for data centers. A flat data center load in San Jose, California, was modeled with clean power supply meeting hourly demand at least 95% of the year.

⚡ Lower cost of delivered electricity: levelized cost of firm clean electricity falls from $114.5/MWh to $84.6/MWh - a 26% reduction.

🔋 Far less storage needed: energy storage capacity falls from 158.3 GWh to 14.6 GWh - a reduction of more than 90%.

📉 A smaller overall system: installed generation capacity falls from 628 MW without wave to 386 MW with wave - about 39% less capacity. This benefits data centers as well as the grid and the energy system as a whole.

These benefits scale up further at the GW level. CorPower Ocean's modular native approach offers a highly scalable solution for rapid roll-out of wave energy farms, with a competitive cost curve. Wave energy offers data centers a significant resource of consistent and predictable power to help deliver affordable clean energy around the clock.

🌊 Throwback to one of the most comprehensive wave energy explainers we've seen. When Undecided Media, LLC. with Matt Ferrell released How Waves Could Quietly Overtake Solar & Wind, it did something many renewable energy discussions struggle to do - break down the engineering behind wave energy in a way that's accessible without oversimplifying the challenge.

🎥 The documentary takes viewers beyond the headlines and into the fundamentals of ocean energy from the immense power contained in ocean swells to the technical hurdles that have historically held the sector back. It also explores how new approaches to survivability, control systems, and energy capture are changing what's possible for wave power.

🧐 For those curious about how CorPower Ocean's technology works, the film offers a clear explanation of concepts such as phase control, resonance, and our WaveSpring technology, showing how we amplify motion in regular sea states while remaining protected during extreme storms.

🌍 ⚡️ As wave energy continues its journey to commercial reality, this remains an excellent resource for anyone looking to understand the technology, the opportunity, and the role ocean energy can play alongside wind and solar in delivering a more resilient renewable energy system.

Every crashing wave delivers a pulse of power. Add them all up, and the ocean carries more energy than the roughly 30,000 TWh of electricity generated globally in 2023.12 But for decades, wave power has been a sea of broken dreams — sunk prototypes, busted budgets, and forgotten startups.
