Ghana Wave Park Pilot

In 2016, Seabased successfully completed a demonstration wave power park just south of Ada, Ghana, for TC’s Energy. Seabased was responsible for supplying a complete wave power park consisting of 6 L12 Wave Energy Converters (WEC), one connection hub, a land switchgear and the sea cable. Seabased’s responsibility included design, manufacture or procurement, and delivery to Ghana, as well as supervision of installation and testing.
