Wave Swell Energy (WSE) is an innovative Australian renewable energy technology company, founded in October 2016: https://www.waveswell.com
WSE was formed to commercialise its unique unidirectional Oscillating Water Column technology. WSE is currently developing a world first project utilising this new technology at King Island, Tasmania. Construction is nearing completion, the unit is on schedule to be deployed providing clean electricity by mid 2020. This is a significant event for WSE.
Hydro Tasmania, a world leader in the integration of renewable energy resources, will independently monitor the unit’s output. Our understanding is that Hydro Tasmania’s King Island power station will be the first in the world to generate electricity from wind, wave and solar.
Climate change is challenging the globe at an accelerating rate. The current bush fires in Australia are a testament to that. It is a notable and growing global issue for discussion which will receive additional coverage at the Davos World Economic Forum being held this month in Davos. Front and centre will be the social and economic global impact of climate change.
Market behaviour is changing. For example, the world’s largest asset manager, Blackrock, has recently taken a very proactive investment stance – within a decade, Blackrock’s sustainable assets will rise form $90 billion to $1 trillion.
WSE is seeking A$500,000 that will be used to develop a project pipeline and continue to develop technical innovations to improve unit design to achieve greater efficiencies.
WSE is offering equity at A$5.64 per share, with a minimum parcel of 2,000 shares (A$11,280). Commitments to invest are sought by Friday 28 February with funds deposited by 5.00 pm on Friday 13 March. Please email [email protected] for an Information Memorandum.

The company is currently developing a 200 kW project at King Island, aimed at demonstrating the commercial viability of the technology.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds
While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
