A problem in Ecuador years ago was dependence on energies fossils non-renewable as the petroleum. Resource that is exhaustible and its cost varies according to the OPEP (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries). With the change of the energy matrix and the great investment of our country in renewable energies, has been achieved at present have a production renewable energy corresponding to 51.78 %, which represents 13,638.89 (GWh), source taken from the ARCONEL (Agency of regulation and control of Electricity). Leveraging natural resources such as: hydric, solar, eolic, among others, discarding in part large production of polluting energy. Another unexploded alternative energy in which are going to focus in the test is the wave energy, which consists of the energy carried by the waves along the world’s oceans; this energy is generated from the action of the wind on the surface of the sea. With the data obtained from INOCAR, were performed calculations required to obtain the energy potential of our seas. Reaching an energy potential very good as detailed in the article.
