Given its high predictability and stability, global availability, and unobtrusiveness. It will become equally important as wind and solar in the green transition with future electricity demand expected to grow 3x by 2050.
Wavepiston has the winning proposition to make wave energy a significant and integral part of the renewable energy transition.
Wavepiston is ready to scale and has ongoing dialogues toward 17 sold projects by 2030, leading the way to 1-2 bn EUR in revenue and 3.5-5.4 GW sold capacity by 2035.

– LCOE target of €39 per MWh by utility scale in an optimal wave climate
– Estimated cost of water desalination of €0.25 per m3 by 2035
– Cost reductions enabled by design optimisation and simplification, material choices, light-weight, scale benefits, and industrialisation
– Utilisation of the oscillating horizontal component of the wave motion at a series of points along a stationary, floating structure
– Patented concept based on the distinct features of force cancellation
– Fully mechanical system that is simple and modular
– No active controls or electronics in the water
– Commodity materials and no scarce resources
– Fully submerged system for low visual intrusion
– 2024: Two public grants in place for continued technology development on commercial version.
