The wave-powered electricity generator is an energy conversion device. The wave-powered electricity generator converts a potential energy formed in waves found in open water into rotational energy that can be used to power an electric generator. The open water is a body of naturally occurring water. The wave-powered electricity generator is a floating structure that is placed in the open water. The wave-powered electricity generator: a) captures water from the open water from a location that is above the median water level; b) forms a water flow path that transports the captured water into a turbine; wherein the turbine subsequently; c) generates rotational energy from the transported water. The wave-powered electricity generator comprises a containment pan, the turbine, and an anchor structure. The turbine mounts in the containment pan. The anchor structure anchors the floating invention to the bottom of the open water.
