Ocean wave energy technology trial

The Minister for Defence, Joel Fitzgibbon MP, and the Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism, Martin Ferguson AM MP, welcome the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Carnegie Corporation and the Department of Defence to investigate the feasibility of using wave energy to generate electricity and desalinated water for HMAS Stirling at Garden Island in Western Australia.

Carnegie holds a research licence with the West Australian Department of Planning and Infrastructure to deploy monitoring equipment at a test site west of Garden Island to assess wave energy potential and trial its ocean wave energy technology.
