Carnegie Wave Energy has completed the installation of its second wave energy unit off Garden Island, at Perth Wave Energy Project site.
The unit has now been operating for over a week, and according to the company, is performing in line with the expectations. It was installed during one day time period.
Both installed units are generating electricity, with the Project awaiting final approval from Western Power to feed the electricity to the grid at HMAS Stirling.
Michael Ottaviano , Carnegie’s Managing Director, said: “The integration of multiple wave energy convertors is critical to demonstrating the principles of future CETO wave farms. With the recent completion of onshore plant and grid connection works, we are eagerly anticipating the world-first milestone of feeding electricity into the grid at HMAS Stirling.”
