In a standout session at Web Summit 2025, Patrik Möller, Co-Founder & CEO of CorPower Ocean, connected the future of wave energy to one of the most urgent global challenges: delivering 24/7 clean power in the midst of a rapidly escalating climate crisis and an energy-hungry digital revolution.
As AI adoption accelerates and data centres expand at unprecedented speed, global electricity demand is soaring. Ensuring this new digital infrastructure runs on clean, reliable energy was a major theme across Web Summit—and wave power emerged as a compelling part of the solution.
Patrik highlighted how wave energy offers a unique and highly predictable renewable resource that can help stabilize grids struggling to balance intermittent wind and solar. As he explained, waves continue long after winds drop and daylight fades, providing a consistent flow of carbon-free electricity that aligns perfectly with the need for round-the-clock power—particularly for energy-intensive sectors like cloud computing, data centres, and global network operators.
During the session, he shared exciting updates on CorPower Ocean’s latest technology breakthroughs, including innovations that boost efficiency, durability, and overall energy yield. These advancements reflect more than a decade of engineering, ocean testing, and collaboration across Europe’s clean-tech ecosystem.
Patrik also outlined pathways toward commercial-scale deployment, emphasizing the role of supportive regulation, scalable finance, and strong partnerships between industry, utilities, and technology leaders. As wave energy technology matures, he noted, it is uniquely positioned to contribute both to national climate goals and to the growing demand from digital infrastructure players seeking dependable renewable power.
Looking further ahead, Patrik spoke to the enormous long-term potential of harvesting clean electricity from waves—a vast, underutilized resource capable of powering communities, industries, and the expanding digital world.
CorPower Ocean’s presence at Web Summit highlights a simple reality: wave energy isn’t just a future trend—it’s a timely, contemporary answer to the intersecting challenges of climate, energy security, and the digital revolution.
