Wave energy is a vast, untapped resource—more consistent than wind and solar, and available at different times, helping to stabilise grid intermittency. Yet, despite this potential, Wave Energy Converters (WECs) have struggled to reach commercial viability. Traditional designs rely on large, rigid structures and monolithic power take-off systems that concentrate loads, making capital costs prohibitively high at scale.

EBB-FLOW takes a fundamentally different approach. Its modular, flexible structure replaces bulky steel systems with lightweight generating cells that distribute loads and maximise the proportion of material active in power generation. These cells are designed for roll-to-roll manufacturing, enabling low-cost, scalable production using existing industrial processes.

The result is a system that is not only more affordable, but also highly tuneable—optimised to perform across a wide range of sea states and deliver consistent output when wind and solar fall short. By avoiding concentrated stress points and enabling mass production, EBB-FLOW significantly reduces capital expenditure compared to legacy WECs.
