("Equipmake" or the "Company")
Development Agreement With CorPower Ocean
Equipmake, a market leader in engineering-driven differentiated electrification technologies,
products and solutionsacross the automotive, truck, bus and speciality vehicle industries, is
pleased to announce it has signed a development agreement (the "Agreement") with CorPower
Ocean AB, a wave energy device developer ("CorPower Ocean").
Highlights:
· Under the Agreement, Equipmake will develop a generator and SiC (silicon carbide) inverter
system, tailored to CorPower Ocean's advanced wave energy system.
·
The Agreement, valued at £650,000, marks the first phase of a programme designed to
accelerate commercialisation of CorPower Ocean's wave energy technology.
· The programme will contribute to large-scale production within five years.
Corpower Ocean supplies 'CorPack' wave energy clusters, which are used as building blocks that
form larger wave farms that can be hundreds of megawatts to gigawatt in scale.
CorPacks come in 10-30MW size , where electricity is harvested from an array of wave energy
converters into a collection hub. Each hub delivers grid quality electricity with standard 33/66kV
electrical connection commonly used in offshore wind.
Equipmake is now assisting CorPower Ocean to further streamline this production through its
world-class expertise in advanced electric motors, inverters and complete zero-emission electric
drivetrains and power electronic systems.
The Agreement represents an opportunity for Equipmake to establish a presence in the rapidly
expanding renewable energy sector, leveraging its electrification expertise to supportCorPower
Ocean'stechnology. This collaboration underscores the potential for substantial future growth as
the renewable energy market accelerates its adoption of sustainable solutions.
Ian Foley, CEO, Equipmake, said: "This agreement with CorPower Ocean highlights Equipmake's
ability to provide high-performance electrification solutions to innovative, forward-thinking industries
across multiple sectors and applications. Ocean energy holds significant promise as a sustainable
power source, and we are delighted to be contributing to the advancement of CorPower Ocean's
transformative technology."
Patrik Möller, CEO, CorPower Ocean, added: "Our partnership with Equipmake represents a
major step forward in the development of our next-generation generator and SiC inverter, further
enhancing the performance and scalability of our wave energy systems. This agreement marks an
important milestone in our journey towards delivering reliable, clean energy on a global scale."

2 Automotive Safety Integrity Level ("ASIL") is a risk classification scheme defined by the ISO 26262
- Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard and is a critical requirement for road vehicles. Of
the four ASILs identified by the standard, ASIL-D dictates the highest integrity requirements on the
product, which require exceptional rigour in their development.
About CorPower Ocean
CorPower Ocean brings high-efficiency wave energy technology enabling reliable and costeffective harvesting of electricity from ocean waves. With research and development spanning
decades, its innovations are inspired by the pumping principle of the human heart. Ocean energy
brings stability to the clean energy mix, accelerating the transition to zero-carbon energy.
Headquartered in Sweden, with offices in Portugal, Norway and Scotland, CorPower Ocean
designs, builds and installs turnkey solutions that allow its customers to power the planet with
clean energy from ocean waves.
CorPower Ocean's Wave Energy Converters are of point absorber type, featuring a heaving buoy
on the surface absorbing energy from ocean waves. The buoy is connected to the seabed using a
tensioned mooring system. Its novel phase control technology enables the compact devices to
oscillate in resonance with incoming waves, strongly amplifying motion and power capture. With
a unique power take-off system and scalable modular architecture, the technology reduces costs
and enhances reliability, ensuring optimal performance in harsh ocean conditions. This approach
delivers up to five times more energy per ton of device compared to previously known wave
technologies, enabling large-scale, sustainable energy production.
