Harvesting the waves, providing the future

Wave Energy is a technology business that develops, designs and provides unique solutions that utilize the enormous power in the waves to produce electricity. The company is acknowledged as one of the leading companies on wave power worldwide, constantly seeking further improvements on own designs and technology solutions.

 

Technology and innovation

One of the fundamental challenges in wave power generation is that installations must be able to withstand extreme weather conditions and resist seawater corrosion. Wave Energy´s technology and design solutions are based on the importance of structure survivability and system reliability. The concept design is simple and robust and the main structure protects the power production equipment from the wave forces, enabling production of power, even at extreme weather conditions.

 

Developing renewable wave energy worldwide

Our vision is to commercialize our technology and develop sustainable full-scale wave energy projects, and supply customers worldwide with innovative solutions that enable reliable and cost efficient production of energy from the power in the waves.

Wave Energy was established in 2004, is Norwegian based and has its office in Tananger outside the city of Stavanger on the west coast of Norway.
