I am Bill Lyman, Founder of Breakwave Energy, and it is with great enthusiasm that I present to you our pioneering
project for Indonesia. This initiative is not just a venture for us; it is a commitment towards a sustainable and
resilient future, especially for the communities in Indonesia's outlying islands.
Indonesia, blessed with abundant natural resources, stands at the forefront of a renewable energy revolution. Our
The ocean is
pilot project in this beautiful archipelago is designed to harness the immense potential of ocean wave energy –a
step forward in addressing the critical energy challenges faced by remote and island communities. We envision
providing affordable and reliable renewable energy, a cornerstone for economic and social development.
This project is more than just a technological endeavor; it's a collaborative effort that brings together local
communities, government bodies, and international partners. Our goal is to create a model of energy
independence that can be replicated across the archipelago, ensuring that no community is left behind in the
march towards progress.
We are immensely grateful for your time in reviewing our project deck. Your insights and support are crucial in
making this vision a reality. I eagerly look forward to engaging further with you and hope to meet in person soon
to discuss how together, we can turn the tides of energy challenges into waves of sustainable opportunities for
Indonesia.
Warm regards,
William R Lyman

Problem 1
Renewable Energy Limitations
Wind, solar, and competing wave energy converters suffer from inconsistent
energy production and high levelized costs of electricity (LCOE)
Wind
Wind Power is inconsistent, and maintenance is expensive
Solar
Solar is limited to daylight hours and only works optimally in the equatorial
zone

Problem 2
Competing Wave Energy Converters have High Costs
Industry Problem
Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are expensive to maintain with LCOEs
between $0.35 upwards of $0.65 per kwh.
• If Wave energy converters are not placed on the shore, they only
capture a fraction of the energy available from waves.
