No power producing system is viable, unless it produces power at a price which is competitive to general market prices. - A key goal of the DEXAWAVE project. As mentioned, the DEXAWAVE converter is made from concrete which has a low and stable price. Other systems made from steel in vast amounts suffer from market fluctuations. Concrete is some 15 times cheaper than steel. Combined with very low maintenance cost, the DEXA offers one of the most economically attractive renewable power source in the world. Oil, gas and coal prices go up and down, following political and commercial interests. DEXAWAVE energy has an initial investment, followed by a very low maintenance cost. In other words the price per kwh is predictable and stable.
