Beaver Island Wave Energy Conversion Project
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Beaver Island, Michigan, United States
Source: The Guardian
Researchers from the University of Michigan are deploying prototype wave energy converters on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan to generate electricity from the kinetic energy of waves. The project aims to provide a more reliable and locally generated power source for the island, which currently relies on mainland power cables that are vulnerable to outages.
