Finland's top utility, state-controlled Fortum, on Monday said it has acquired a 14 percent stake in Finnish wave energy developer Wello.

Wello has developed a floating vessel that captures energy from waves and converts it into electrical power with a generator, Fortum said.

It did not disclose the value of the deal.
