European technology enables wave power world first
The Caribbean island nation of Bermuda has taken the bold step of developing the world’s first utility-scale commercial ocean wave power park.
With a 40MW capacity, the park will fuel the island’s grid, providing roughly 10% of Bermuda’s energy needs.
The technology that will drive the development is from Seabased, an Ireland headquartered company commercialising technologies invented by professors Mats Leijon and Hans Bernhoff, internationally recognized electrical engineers who developed it initially at Uppsala University in Sweden.
Seabased is a blue power company which harnesses ocean waves for abundant renewable consistent power at utility scale. A global market leader, its proprietary technology is protected by over 300 patents.
