The Lysekil Project is an ongoing wave energy research project by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University in Sweden. It is located to the south of Lysekil, on the west coast approximately 100 km (62 mi) north of Gothenburg. The first WEC was deployed in 2006, and as of February 2024 there were 11 WECs located ...

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) announced in 2015 a competition to improve the efficiency of wave energy converter (WEC) devices. Waveswing America was one of 92 entrants, and in March 2016 qualified as one of nine finalists to receive up to $125,000 seed funding to develop and test a 1:20 scale model. [14]
This Singapore plant is one example of a slew of recent projects that are looking to the oceans, which already absorb almost 30% of humanity’s planet-heating pollution, as a tool to do this.
The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of renewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has invested $112.5 million ...
Ocean Power Technologies has proposed a utility-scale, commercial wave park in North America at Coos Bay, Oregon. The planned size of this park is up to 100 megawatts, and it will be the largest wave energy project in the world when completed.
The project transmitted the first electricity ever delivered to a utility-scale grid from an ocean resource in North or South America in September 2012. [1] [3] [10] [11] A $21 million project, the Cobscook Bay Project was funded almost equally between private and public sources, with the United States Department of Energy providing a $10 ...
The Golden Wharf at Lyness was upgraded in 2010–2011 to host renewable energy projects. [15] Following the demise of the company, the P2-001 device, having completed over 15,000 hours of operation, was acquired by Wave Energy Scotland. The device was decommissioned in April 2016 and sold to the Orkney Island Council for £1.
