List of wave power stations

This page lists most power stations that run on wave power. However, there are not many operational at present, as wave energy is still a nascent technology. A longer list of proposed and prototype wave power devices is given at List of wave power projects.

Agucadoura Wave Farm in Portugal

Wave farms are classified into eight types based on the technology used: surface-following attenuator, point absorber, oscillating wave surge converter, oscillating water column, overtopping/terminator, submerged pressure differential, bulge wave device, and rotating mass.
