Weptos is a Danish company, which has developed a world-leading Wave Energy Converter technology and is now bound for scaling towards commercialization. The Weptos technology is protected by 22 international patents, including the Power Take Off system (PTO), ensuring efficient wave power conversion into energy with minimal energy loss. A Weptos system consists of floating rotors that sync with the waves.

Using the PTO, the rotor’s movements are converted into smooth rotation, enabling the utilization of existing generator technology, similar to wind turbines. The technology has achieved revolutionary results with a conversion efficiency of over 60% and a record-low LCoE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of €30/MWh.
This exciting development also leads to growth within the Weptos team, taking place in brand-new surroundings at Port House in Fredericia – an ideal location with a view of the waves.
