QuestionView source ↗
I refer to Carnegie Clean Energy’s licence under section 91 of the Land Administration Act 1997 authorising them to undertake certain matters relating to wave energy off the Albany coast and I ask: (a) Was the existence of a current licence to undertake such activities a factor in the selection process to secure Carnegie Clean Energy as the successful proponent to the Albany Wave Energy project; and (b) If not, we’re any commitments given to other proponents of the Albany Wave Energy project by government to secure the necessary licences to operate, as a part of the procurement and selection process?

(a) No. The Request for Proposal requested, as part of the scope, the “installation of a wave energy convertor device in 2019 off the southern coast, in close proximity to the Albany Wind Farm”. This was intended to be a broad enough description so as to accommodate responses outside Carnegie’s licence area.
(b) No commitments were given to any possible project proponent. The tender documents did not mention licenses. It was incumbent on any applicant (tenderer) to sort out all approvals processes including licenses.
