Waves Without
End

Wave Resource Assessment

Our oceanographers deploy spectral wave buoys to characterise your site's wave climate across all seasons — establishing bankable energy estimates before any device is installed.

Point Absorber Technology

Pelagic's proprietary point absorber wave energy converters are engineered for 25-year deployment in the harshest marine environments, with minimal maintenance requirements.

Grid Integration

We manage underwater cabling, onshore substations, and grid connection to deliver clean wave power directly to your network — fully integrated with renewable energy management systems.

Engineering
for the Sea

Pelagic Power was founded by ocean engineers and naval architects who recognised that wave energy, properly harnessed, could provide reliable clean power that wind and solar cannot — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our marine engineering studio in Plymouth combines fluid dynamics simulation, structural analysis, and materials science to create wave energy converters built to survive the most demanding marine environments on Earth.

Development Pathway

From Wave
to Wire

01
Wave Resource Characterisation

Spectral wave buoy deployment, satellite altimetry analysis, and 10-year hindcast modelling to establish bankable wave energy resource estimates.

02
Array Design & Optimisation

Computational fluid dynamics modelling to optimise device placement, array spacing, and mooring configuration for maximum energy capture.

03
Marine Consenting

Environmental impact assessment, consultation with maritime authorities, and Marine Licence application for device installation.

04
Installation & Commissioning

Device fabrication, offshore installation by specialist marine contractors, and full system commissioning and grid connection.

05
Remote Operations

Satellite-connected SCADA monitoring, autonomous fault detection, and scheduled inspection programmes to maximise lifetime revenue.

Our History

A Decade of
Ocean Innovation

2010

Pelagic Founded in Plymouth

Ocean engineers establish Pelagic Power, deploying the first P1 prototype at EMEC's wave test site off Orkney.

2014

P2 Device Launch

The second-generation P2 point absorber achieves 42% capacity factor during 18-month grid-connected trial — a world record at the time.

2018

First Commercial Array

The Pentland Firth 12MW array delivers first power to the Orkney grid — making Pelagic the world's first commercial wave energy developer.

2022

International Expansion

The Azores Wave Farm marks Pelagic's entry into the European Atlantic market, supplying 40% of Faial Island's electricity.

2025

85MW Global Portfolio

22 deployments across Europe and the Pacific delivering 85MW of clean wave energy to coastal communities and offshore platforms.

Recognition

The Industry
Speaks

"Pelagic Power has achieved what many considered impossible: commercially viable wave energy at scale. Their technology is genuinely remarkable and the results speak for themselves."

Offshore Wind & Wave Journal — Innovation Report, 2024

"The Azores installation is a landmark project for renewable energy globally. Wave power at 40% island energy penetration is a world first, and Pelagic deserves every credit for it."

International Energy Agency — Ocean Energy Review, 2023

"For coastal nations seeking energy security from indigenous resources, Pelagic's wave technology offers something that wind and solar cannot: predictable baseload power from the sea."
