Hey everyone, welcome back to Colonize the Ocean—where we dream big about thriving beneath the waves. Today: subsea renewable power for underwater habitats and seasteads. Wave and tidal energy could deliver clean, reliable electricity—no diesel runs, no constant solar issues.

Imagine your deep-sea pod powered by the ocean's endless motion. 2026 looks like a breakout year.

Wave energy highlights:

• Ocean Power Technologies' PowerBuoy: hybrid (wave/wind/solar), ultra-resilient. Just scored a $5M+ U.S. Coast Guard contract for four fuel-free surveillance units off San Diego—perfect for scaling to habitat comms and sensors.
• CorPower Ocean: claims 5× efficiency with wave-sync tech, survives 18m storms. C4 grid-connected in Portugal since 2023; three C5s deploying this year, aiming for 10MW farm by 2030.

Tidal energy—predictable and baseload-ready:

• France tendering 250 MW by 2030.
• Scotland's MeyGen: world's largest tidal stream array, turbines running 6+ years reliably.

The wave+tidal market is projected to reach ~$1.8–1.85B by 2032 as costs fall and deployments grow.

Bottom line: Reliable ocean power is shifting from pilots to commercial reality. For underwater colonies, it means true self-sufficiency—ditching surface logistics and going fully independent. Atlantis is getting powered up.
