Oscilla Power Awarded TransAlta Centralia Energy Technology Grant to Advance 1MW Triton Manufacturing Supply Chain

Oscilla Power is pleased to announce that it has received a $300K grant from TransAlta Centralia Coal Transition Grants through its Energy Technology Fund to advance development of a Washington-based supply chain and manufacturing plan for key subsystems of the company’s Triton™ wave energy converter. The project will focus on identifying and qualifying suppliers for Triton drivetrain and power conversion components, with an emphasis on Washington—and where possible, Centralia-area—manufacturing capabilities.

Triton is designed to convert the immense, predictable energy of ocean waves into high-quality electricity using Oscilla Power’s advanced multi-mode wave energy architecture and high-efficiency drivetrain. This grant will help accelerate Triton toward applications where dependable offshore and coastal energy can address urgent near-term needs. These include supplying abundant clean energy for power-intensive data centers, providing resilient power for remote military installations and maritime operations, and supporting energy-intensive critical mineral extraction and processing activities in locations where conventional power infrastructure can be limited, costly, or vulnerable.

By strengthening the manufacturing pathway for Triton’s drivetrain and power conversion systems, Oscilla Power aims to reduce production risk, improve cost certainty, and build relationships with regional suppliers capable of supporting the next stages of commercialization. The work also aligns with the goals of the Centralia Coal Transition Grants program by supporting clean energy innovation, advanced manufacturing, and new economic opportunities in Washington as the region continues its transition toward a diversified energy economy.

“We are grateful for the support of TransAlta Centralia Coal Transition Board and their Energy Technology Fund,” said Oscilla Power CEO Balky Nair. “This grant will help us take an important step toward building the supply chain needed to manufacture Triton systems and deliver reliable ocean wave energy for high-value applications where resilient clean power can make a meaningful impact.”
