World's First Commercial Wave Energy Project Comes Online


It's ironic that Australia - where the federal government is working hard to strip incentives for renewable energy - is the site for the world's first commercial wave project and potentially  the world's largest solar plant.
Wave energy is sending power to the grid in Australia in the world's first commercial project to come online.
Carnegie Wave Energy's Perth Wave Energy Project consists of three, 240 kilowatt pumps that are tethered to the seabed. They send pressurized water to an onshore hydroelectric plant and - in another first - it also sends water to a desalination plant, supplying both energy and fresh water.

Australia's Department of Defense is buying the energy and fresh water for its largest naval base.
Funding came from government grants and the Australian Renewable Energy Association.
