CalWAve

CalWave, a 2013 CEP participant, develops a game-changing next generation and proprietary Wave Energy Converter to harness the vastly available, predictable and stable energy from ocean waves to serve coastal communities.

CalWave is a spin out from UC Berkeley, graduated from Cyclotron Road at the end of 2016 and was awarded a DOE US Wave Energy Prize.

In 2017, CalWave was awarded for a multi-million demonstration contract by the US DOE and received support by Breakout Labs and the Sustainable Ocean Alliance. 

In 2019, CalWave received two additional multi-million dollar awards by DOE to 1) build a commercial scale drive train in parallel to our open water demo and 2) design the next generation of their submerged pressure differential WEC.
