Carnegie Wins €3.75M Phase 3 EuropeWave PCP Contract

The EuropeWave PCP Program is a competitive program designed to advance promising wave energy converter systems and prove technical and commercial viability for large scale deployment.

Projects were judged against main technical challenges of performance, reliability, availability and survivability. Out of all participants, CETO Wave Energy Ireland was ranked number 1, judged against these key criteria. Having been ranked first, CWEI received first choice of deployment site.

The team has selected a berth best suited to the CETO project at the open-water facilities of the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country, Spain. The project, known as ACHIEVE, will run from September 2023 to May 2026 with CETO deployed from 2025.

CETO Wave Energy Ireland will deliver Phase 3 of the EuropeWave PCP with the support of an impressive team including its consortium partner SAITEC Offshore Technologies and subcontractors Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lloyd’s Register EMEA, Hutchinson, Quoceant, VGA, Advanced Composite Structures Australia (ACSA) and Julia F. Chozas Consulting Engineer.

Phase 3 activities are supported by the involvement of 2 new key partners:

  • Lloyd’s Register EMEA, who will provide technical verification processes and support design and best practices for the scaled deployment of the CETO device.
  • Advanced Composite Structures Australia (ACSA) who will continue to support Carnegie with advancements in Mooring Tensioner technologies.

Each company involved will retain ownership of the intellectual property, the results and any physical models, prototypes or other test pieces produced during the PCP.
