Wave Monitoring Buoy Successfully Deployed off Bermuda

Carnegie Wave Energy, Australia, and its Bermuda-based developer Triton Renewable Energy have successfully deployment and commissioned of a wave monitoring buoy off the south shore of Bermuda. This buoy is to gather data in order to quantify the wave energy resource in support of a potential CETO wave energy project in Bermuda.

 

 

Such a project will be capable of producing electricity as well as desalinated water from an untapped and abundant renewable energy resource. The wave buoy will be moored for a minimum period of twelve months. The wave data collected will be shared with the Bermudian public, through the partnership with BAS-Serco’s Bermuda Weather Service.

 

Carnegie and Triton have previously signed a Memorandum of Understanding ('MOU') to develop a commercial CETO wave energy project. Project pre-feasibility and environmental studies have subsequently been completed.
