Agenda

Wave hub names fourth developer 
11 May 2007 - Australia-based Oceanlinx has been chosen as the fourth wave device developer for the £28 million Wave Hub project off the coast of Cornwall (SW England). Oceanlinx will install a wave energy converter combining the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) with its own patented turbine technology .   

A full-scale operational unit has already been constructed and tested at Port Kembla in New South Wales, Australia. Oceanlinx is also pursuing wave energy projects in North America, Mexico, South Africa and Hawaii.

The South West of England Regional Development Agency (RDA) is planning to create the world's first large scale wave energy farm by constructing an electrical 'socket' on the seabed ten miles off Hayle on the Cornwall coast in South West England. The other three developers are Ocean Power Technologies Limited, Fred Olsen Limited and WestWave, a consortium of EOn and Ocean Prospect Limited, using the Pelamis technology of Ocean Power Delivery Ltd. Each will be granted a sea area of two square kilometres.
