Marine power technology harnesses energy from ocean-based resources such as waves, tides, currents, and thermal gradients. These renewable sources offer a consistent and predictable energy profile compared to solar or wind. Technologies include oscillating water columns, tidal turbines, point absorbers, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Integration with offshore wind platforms and underwater data centers is expanding marine energy’s role in hybrid renewable systems. Although still developing in terms of cost and deployment infrastructure, marine power holds significant promise for island nations, coastal grids, and decarbonization of maritime operations .
