Powering the wave energy breakthrough.

Real-world wave energy projects, delivering predictable, renewable power at scale.

Electrification of large-scale industries.

CorPower Ocean collaborates closely with project developers, utilities, and energy companies to accelerate wave farm development—from initial yield assessments and permitting through to financing, design, and grid connection. To ensure smooth operation, CorPower Ocean also offers maintenance throughout the project life-time.

Please contact us to discuss how we can support your wave energy project development plans.

Projects in development.

  • HiWave-5

    CorPower Ocean’s flagship full-scale demonstration project includes one C4 WEC in Stage 4 and three C5 WECs in Stage 5. The ultimate farm size is 1.2 megawatts and the project is located in Aguçadoura, Portugal.

HiWave-5

Final push towards commercialisation.

HiWave-5 represents the culmination of a decade of structured product development and four decades of wave hydrodynamics research. Led by one of the world’s most experienced wave energy teams, HiWave-5 aims to deliver a third-party-certified commercial wave energy solution competitive with wind and solar by 2030.

Validated through rigorous dry-testing at our 7.2MW facility in Stockholm, Sweden, and operational offshore Aguçadoura, Portugal, since October 2023, the robust C4 WEC has exported renewable electricity to the grid and demonstrated proven storm survivability validated in extreme Atlantic conditions (waves up to 18.5 metres). The next phase includes installing three additional next-generation C5 WECs in 2026, targeting full DNV Type Certification, securing industrial-scale commercial readiness by 2027, and paving the way for future deployments of C6 WECs. We invite stakeholders into our Pilot Access Program, providing exclusive operational data access, performance metrics, and direct involvement in ongoing technology development milestones.

  • 1.2MW 1x C4 WEC + 3x C5 WECs
  • Grid-connected, Aguçadoura, Portugal
  • Dry-tested at a 7.2MW facility
  • Wave-to-wire digital twin validation
  • DNV prototype and type certification
  • Robust design been through 18.5 metre waves

Viana Wave

World’s first 10MW Wave Farm.

Viana Wave will become the world’s first 10MW wave energy farm, marking a pivotal step toward global large-scale wave energy deployment. Leveraging our existing infrastructure and regional integration, it directly supports Portugal’s goal to achieve 200MW wave capacity by 2030.

Backed by a €40M EU Innovation Fund grant, Viana Wave expands our existing installation at Aguçadoura, Portugal, including major local port infrastructure and supply chain investments. This facility aims to deliver renewable electricity to approximately 7,500 homes annually.

  • Expansion of existing HiWave-5 installation
  • €40M EU Innovation Fund grant support
  • Major investments in Viana do Castelo port
  • Scaleup of local supply chain in the region
  • Final Investment Decision 2027, operational 2029/30

Valiant

Unlocking wave energy in the UK.

CorPower Ocean leads the Valiant project, aiming to establish the UK’s most advanced wave energy farm at EMEC’s pre-consented Billia Croo site in Orkney, Scotland. Supported by a €19M EU Horizon Europe grant, Valiant is poised to unlock future UK Contracts-for-Difference (CfD), accelerate commercial wave energy adoption, and stimulate local economic renewal through 75% domestic content in manufacturing.

  • 5MW standalone wave farm at EMEC
  • Pre-consented site with access to grid
  • €19M EU Horizon Europe grant support
  • CorPower delivering full project scope
  • Final Investment Decision 2027, operational 2029/30

Dry testing – ensuring robustness & reliability.

CorPower Ocean utilizes the world’s largest wave energy dry-test facility (7.2MW). Dry testing rigorously ensures that wave energy devices are robust, reliable, and thoroughly validated prior to ocean deployment.

  • Real-world wave conditions simulated
  • Debugging and tuning in controlled environments
  • Critical step in reducing deployment risks and ensuring successful ocean operation

Proven survivability & third-party validation.

CorPower Ocean’s wave energy technologies have been validated to rigorous industry standards, ensuring operational reliability and commercial viability:

  • Independently verified by third parties (DNV certifications)
  • Proven ability to withstand extreme wave conditions (waves exceeding 18 meters)
  • Comprehensive validation of wave-to-wire performance

Comprehensive project development support.

CorPower Ocean provides end-to-end project lifecycle support, assisting project developers, utilities, and investors from initial assessments through permitting, financing, and grid connection. In addition, operations and maintenance contracts are offered to secure smooth operation through the project life-time.

We streamline your pathway to commercial wave energy deployment, significantly reducing complexity and risk.
