CorPower Ocean

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.

💡 Exactly four years ago, we shared the vision behind our commercial-scale C4 Wave Energy Converter. Today, it's inspiring to look back at the technology that marked a pivotal step in our journey to unlock the potential of ocean energy.

🎥 This video introduces the engineering principles behind C4 from efficient power capture to inherent storm protection that have since been proven through extensive testing and real-world deployment.

🌊 Innovation is built one milestone at a time, and C4 laid the foundation for the progress we're making today towards reliable, scalable wave energy that complements wind and solar in the global clean energy transition.

The world's first DNV certification for wave energy technology marks far more than a technical achievement, it's a pivotal step towards commercialising a new source of clean electricity.

In this conversation our Chief Commercial Officer Catharina Belfrage Sahlstrand sits down with Chief Technology Officer Andrew Litchfield to explore what this milestone really means.

From seven years of rigorous design, testing and validation, to reducing risk for customers, investors, insurers and project financiers, they discuss how independent certification builds confidence across the value chain.

The conversation also looks ahead at how advances in structural efficiency, reliability and performance are shaping our next-generation Wave Energy Converters, bringing us closer to commercial arrays capable of delivering dependable, 24/7 firm clean electricity alongside wind and solar.

Watch the full discussion to hear how technical excellence and commercial readiness are coming together to unlock the potential of wave energy.
