1.   The objective of the State Government’s Albany Wave Energy Technology Development Project is to develop wave energy technology that could be developed into a full-scale commercial wave energy generation system in the future. This objective was set out in the Request for Proposal issued by the Department Primary Industries and Regional Development to the market.
I am aware that Carnegie has publicly stated its plans to deliver its CETO 6 technology in stages, beginning with an initial commercial prototype of a 1MW unit followed by a 20MW commercial scale wave farm.
