A Blue Energy Company delivering stable, clean electricity from ocean waves
Seabased is pioneering Blue Energy as the first company to build, own, and operate Wave Power Parks worldwide—delivering local energy security and expanding the role of renewables in today’s global energy mix. Our wave-to-grid turnkey solution provides stable, CO₂-free electricity at utility scale, using the power of the ocean to generate predictable, reliable energy.
How It Works
The robust and powerful Seabased Wave Power Park system is composed of buoys on the ocean surface connected to linear generators on the seabed. The buoys move with the waves, and this motion generates power. A marine substation makes the electricity suitable for grid use, and sea cables deliver the power to the grid. This complete wave-to-grid solution is a strategic advantage—designed to simplify deployment and strengthen grid reliability where it’s needed most.
Our expertise in the design, construction, and maintenance of robust marine systems enables Seabased to offer high quality power based on standard arrays of 10MW adapted to the site specification of each unique offshore environment.
Clean, Predictable Power from the Ocean
Unlike other wave energy technologies, Seabased delivers a complete wave-to-grid system that is modular, grid-ready, and already demonstrated with multiple generators at scale.
The videoclip above shows the installation of a full-scale Seabased wave energy generator, which will later be connected to a buoy to form a complete Wave Energy Converter (WEC). Wave energy device installation requires only a light construction vessel and does not require invasive seabed preparation such as drilling.
Deploying the wave energy technology on the seabed protects it from extreme conditions that may occur at the surface of the sea, and helps minimize maintenance.

The modular design, and “plug & play” nature of the wave energy power parks has many advantages for cost control and manufacture, installation, and maintenance.

Built for grid stability
Because waves roll 24/7 and can be forecast days in advance, Seabased parks generate steady, reliable energy. That makes them ideal for grids that need consistent power. Seabased Wave Power Parks also help strengthen energy resilience, and cutting reliance on imported fuel.
Delivering on the Promise of Wave Power
As a Blue Energy Company providing CO2-free renewable wave power at a utility scale, Seabased is working to ease wave energy’s entry into the renewable mix - supporting communities, grid operators, and other renewable providers.
Seabased is collaborating with utilities and governments to bring wave power online—reliably, and at scale. With multiple commercial projects in preparation, we’re working to unlock wave energy’s full potential and support resilient, clean energy systems around the world.
