The ocean waves have a lot of energy. CorPower Ocean^TM believes that the forces and solutions provided by nature can tackle climate change.

CorPower Ocean^TM says wave energy density is 5 times higher than wind and at least 10 times higher than solar energy. Wave energy can produce clean electricity for 500 million homes. Wave energy delivers a consistent power flow to coastlines.

The biggest global challenge faced by carbon-free power generation is to ensure electricity available 24/7 each day of the year. During a drought, less water flows into reservoirs. The low levels of water in hydropower reservoirs limit the electricity that hydropower plants can produce. Low wind speeds reduce wind power generation. In very low sunlight conditions, a solar cell or photovoltaic cell will not be able to harness much usable power. Therefore, oil, gas and coal have played a major role to ensure a stable power supply.

Wave energy component not only stabilizes clean energy mix, but also significantly improve the production of green hydrogen. Green hydrogen production—split water into hydrogen and oxygen, needs a primary source of energy. Wave energy not only stabilizes renewable energy source utilized by the electrolyze facilities but also enable electrolyze facilities to run at higher load factors.

CorPower Ocean^TM designs and delivers its technology as CorPack clusters of 10-20 MW capacity. CorPacks convert ocean wave energy into electricity. They are laid out side-by-side to form wave farms.
