We help derisk every stage of the journey, from navigating permitting and grid integration to building social acceptance and securing financing. With CorPower Ocean, you gain a committed partner to accelerate delivery, enhance system value, and future-proof your clean energy strategy.
Our offering is built on proven technology, deep sector know-how, and a commitment to building resilient, 24/7 clean energy systems – guiding you through early-stage opportunity to full-scale project delivery and operation.
Our collaboration often begins with helping partners evaluate the potential of wave energy in their region. We assess local wave conditions, grid availability, and site characteristics, while also analysing how wave power can complement other renewables like wind and solar to deliver round-the-clock clean electricity. By modelling energy systems and estimating long-term performance and cost profiles, we help build the business case for wave energy and chart a viable path toward implementation.
Once a project opportunity is confirmed, we guide it through the critical development phases. This includes everything from earlystage engineering and permitting processes to commercial structuring and stakeholder engagement. We manage key steps such as environmental impact assessments, geophysical and metocean surveys, and the development of robust health and safety plans. At the same time, we work to secure land and grid access, align with local supply chains, and build the social license to operate through transparent dialogue and public engagement. By integrating technical, regulatory, and commercial activities, we create the foundations for successful, investable projects.
CorPower Ocean provides support through every step of project delivery – from manufacturing to operations – ensuring your wave farm is delivered safely, on time, and on budget. Our streamlined process is designed to minimize risk, accelerate deployment, and secure long-term performance.
We begin by delivering fully integrated CorPacks, including Wave Energy Converters, mooring systems, tidal compensation units, anchors, intra-array cables, and floating collection hubs –built to meet your specific site and performance requirements.
Construction and installation are executed in collaboration with experienced EPCi partners, using project-specific strategies optimised for local conditions, port proximity, and available vessels. We ensure seamless coordination to assemble, connect, and deploy all systems.
Following installation, we manage commissioning to rigorously test and validate each system, guaranteeing that your wave farm performs as designed and is ready for full-scale operation.
To ensure long-term success, CorPower also offers tailored Operations & Maintenance services as part of a warranty-backed package. This provides peace of mind through proactive monitoring, preventive maintenance, and responsive support – ensuring high availability and carefree ownership throughout the project lifecycle.
The modular service structure offers fixed-price and time-and-materials options, plus outcome frameworks such as time-based or energy-based availability, supported by monthly performance reports and a cadence of owner-operator performance reviews.
CorPower Ocean also provides spare parts and consumables inventory management and keeps O&M documentation current, while the farm owner/operator maintains facilities and vessels – ensuring clear responsibilities and smooth farm operations.
CorPower Ocean’s proprietary site assessment tool follows a structured three step process, demonstrated here through a case study in California:
The first phase involves identifying potential sites based on key technical criteria, such as water depth and distance from shore. Given California’s deep coastal waters, the most promising locations were found within 5–10 km from the shoreline.
Next, the tool evaluates the wave energy potential at technically viable sites. California’s coastline generally offers strong wave resources, although certain southern areas are more sheltered.
Finally, the highest-potential sites are further assessed for social and environmental constraints, including marine traffic, protected areas, and other ocean uses. Grid connection opportunities are also examined, considering both technical feasibility and complementarity with existing wind and solar infrastructure. In California, this multi-criteria approach identified the most favorable zones in the northern part of the region.
This figure presents a California case study showing how wave energy complements wind and solar to support a more stable 24/7 carbon-free energy system.
Wind (6.5 GW) and solar (13.5 GW) generation are shown as actual time series for the period, while wave production (6.0 GW) is estimated from measured wave data using CorPower Ocean’s power matrix, assuming capacity distributed across four coastal sites. The graph highlights how solar delivers strong daytime peaks and wind remains variable, but wave energy, shown in dark blue, provides a smoother and more consistent output over time. This stability is especially visible during night hours and low-wind periods, when wave power continues to generate. As a result, wave energy helps fill gaps in renewable supply and reduces the reliance on storage or backup solutions. In this way, it acts as a backbone in the energy mix, smoothing the ups and downs of wind and solar to strengthen the path toward continuous clean power.
