BiMEP Contract Signed for ACHIEVE CETO Deployment

BiMEP Contract Signed for ACHIEVE CETO Deployment

Building on the previously signed Berth Reservation Agreement, this contract finalizes key terms for the installation, operation and decommissioning of CETO at the BiMEP site over two years.

BiMEP will provide access to infrastructure at sea (such as berth mooring area, submarine power cable, subsea electrical connector and fiber optic cables) and infrastructure on the mainland (including electrical substation, power lines and office space) which will enable CETO to be deployed and deliver electricity to the grid. The total value of the contract is approximately €600,000.

Over the coming months, BiMEP will be undertaking their own planned site upgrade works which includes the retrieval of legacy equipment and the replacement of the existing electrical connector at the CETO deployment site. 

The Company will be provided access to the site once BiMEP’s works are completed. The contract also outlines how BiMEP will collaborate with the Company and support several activities as part of the RENMARINAS DEMOS Program, including knowledge sharing, wave data and environmental surveys.

The ACHIEVE Program’s CETO deployment at BiMEP is a key step in the CETO commercialization pathway and has been designed to deliver key technical and commercial outcomes.

According to CEO Jonathan Fiévez, “BiMEP provides established, world class facilities, a supportive and collaborative team and challenging sea states. This combination is precisely why we’ve chosen to deploy CETO at BiMEP and we look forward to CETO demonstrating its performance and reliability at the site.”
