  The Oscillating Water Column technology is in use in the Isle of Islay, Scotland, where a system called LIMPET has been installed since 2000.
This system has a maximum output of 500 kW. It is ideal for locations where there is strong wave energy, such as breakwaters, coastal defences, land reclamation schemes and harbour walls. This form of energy generation is suitable for producing power for the national grid.
In the Isle of Islay, the electricity generated is being used to power an electric bus, the first bus in the world to use wave power as its fuel. (Green Energy Works, 2006)
