Wave Power

Wave power uses the kinetic energy (movement) and potential energy of ocean waves as a resource.  In principle this can be used to generate electricity.  However, the practicalities of harnessing waves have proved difficult to overcome in a cost effective manner for this type of energy production to take off in the UK.

Wave power is commonly confused with tidal power which is actually a significantly different technology.
