Carnegie Wave Energy has installed a monitoring buoy off the southern coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
The installation is the first step towards the Australian developer deploying its Ceto wave energy technology.
The buoy was installed in conjunction with its Mauritian project partners the Mauritian Research Council, Australia’s High Commissioner to Mauritius and the University of Western Australia.
The move follows Carnegie’s signing of a collaboration agreement with MRC to identify opportunities and develop pathways for commercial wave energy plants.
The project is funded through a partnership between the Australian and Mauritian governments and is being administered by the MRC and involves Carnegie receiving payment for delivering a series of work packages.
Other contributors include the Mauritian Coast Guard, Energy Made Clean and CSIRO.
