Small communities not connected to a large energy grid often face unique energy requirements, relying on diesel generators or other fossil fuels for electricity. This dependence can lead to high costs and supply vulnerability. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and micro-hydro, can significantly reduce reliance on these fuels, offering more sustainable and cost-effective solutions.

Incorporating renewable energy into communities requires many considerations including: assessing local resources, ensuring system reliability, providing education on maintenance, and securing financing. Engaging the community in planning and decision-making is crucial for creating solutions that align with their specific needs and fostering long-term sustainability.

Bulge wave technology harnesses energy from ocean waves through a flexible membrane system. As waves pass, the membrane bulges, creating pressure that drives a hydraulic pump connected to a generator, converting wave energy into electricity. This technology is particularly effective in shallow coastal areas where wave action is strong and consistent. Bulge wave systems can be deployed in arrays to increase energy capture and are suitable for various applications, including powering coastal communities, desalination plants, and offshore infrastructure, contributing to the transition to renewable energy sources.
