One specific location on Earth that has high wave power potential and is close to a major population center is the coast of Portugal, particularly the town of Peniche. The Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Peniche has some of the highest wave power potential in the world, with waves that can reach heights of up to 10 meters. Peniche is also located close to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, which makes it easy to distribute the generated electricity to the city and other nearby population centers. In fact, there are already several wave power plants in operation along the coast of Portugal, including one in Peniche.
