“It is great to see ACHIEVE Programme activities moving off the computer and
into reality, in particular through the procurement and testing of critical CETO
components in advance of deployment at BiMEP.

Successfully completing electrical and control systems testing was a significant
achievement during the quarter and delivered confidence that key elements of the
system are functioning as designed. Delivering tests such as this enables the team
to validate systems in controlled environments in advance of ocean deployment,
where the technology is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the
open ocean.
The commercial team have also been busy supporting the engineers and
managers in negotiating the various contracts with suppliers. Importantly they
also led the finalisation of our contract with BiMEP and secured two key payments
from the project funders.
From our new office in Bilbao the team will continue to progress the manufacture
and testing of core components in the lead up to integration.
We aim to keep our investors and followers better informed with the introduction
of our new Investor Hub so please sign up. I’ve prepared a short video summary
of this Quarterly Report that you can view directly there.”

QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Core Products
Who is Carnegie?
Carnegie develops ocean energy technologies to make the world more
sustainable. We provide advanced and competitive wave energy
products for global renewable energy markets.
Waves are an untapped renewable energy source that is consistent,
predictable, and globally distributed. The scale of the opportunity is
significant, Ocean Energy Europe (OEE) forecasts significant growth for
wave energy with a €653b market potential by 2050.
CETO
CETO is a submerged buoy harnessing energy from ocean waves. Sitting
a few meters below the surface of the ocean, CETO converts wave energy
into zero-emission electricity. This clean and predictable energy supply
can be harnessed to provide a reliable energy source 24/7. The CETO
technology is continually improving through cost reduction measures and
increasing the energy supply capacity through intelligent innovation.
MoorPower
MoorPower is a wave energy product for offshore demand applications.
A spin-off from the CETO technology, MoorPower provides power for
offshore moored vessels, such as feed and lighting barges used in
Aquaculture. MoorPower can replace and reduce diesel generator usage
in offshore environments, reducing risk and carbon emissions.
PRODUCTS
The team continues to advance Carnegie’s core CETO and MoorPower wave energy technologies. The
ACHIEVE Programme achieved key CETO outcomes during the quarter such as successful electrical
control systems testing at SEI, manufacturing progress and the final contract signed with BiMEP for
the first CETO deployment in Europe. Carnegie and project partners have also been working in
Australia to progress the commercialisation of the MoorPower technology, actively exploring
commercial deployment opportunities.
Products – CETO and the ACHIEVE Programme
Through the ACHIEVE Programme, Carnegie will deploy and operate a CETO prototype at the Basque
Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country. This will mark a key step on CETO’s
commercialisation pathway. The CETO Unit will operate for up to 2 years in this open ocean site and
the data collected will be used to validate the performance of the CETO technology and propel it along
the commercialisation pathway.
The ACHIEVE Programme is an initiative being delivered by Carnegie’s subsidiaries CETO Wave Energy
Ireland under contract by EuropeWave Buyers Group (ACHIEVE Project) and Carnegie Technologies
Spain with the support of funding awarded by the Spanish Government through the RENMARINAS
DEMOS Programme (AGUAMARINA Project) and the Basque Government through a grant from the
Ente Vasco de la Energia (ACHIEVE+ Project).

ACHIEVE Programme CETO Unit under construction for deployment at BiMEP in the Basque Country
Through this collaborative initiative, Carnegie will deploy and operate a CETO prototype at the Basque
Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country. This will mark a key step on CETO’s
commercialisation pathway. The CETO Unit will operate for up to 2 years in this open ocean site and
the data collected will be used to validate the performance of the CETO technology and propel it along
the commercialisation pathway.
Building upon the previously signed Berth Reservation Agreement, Carnegie finalised a €600,000
contract with the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) for the installation and testing of CETO
through the ACHIEVE Programme. This contract solidifies the terms for BiMEP to provide essential
offshore and onshore infrastructure, enabling CETO's deployment and grid connection. The
agreement also formalises collaboration on knowledge sharing, wave data, and environmental surveys
within the RENMARINAS DEMOS Programme.
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 completes its
scheduled works, which is expected to be in late summer.
During the quarter the ACHIEVE Programme advanced through the procurement process of critical
components, with core instrumentation arriving at key assembly and testing locations. Following the
arrival of the generator and completion of other subsystems, testing of the electrical and control
system was recently successfully competed at the SEI facilities in the Basque Country. Additional
component testing continues across Europe, as sub-systems are validated in preparation for final
assembly and deployment in the Basque Country.

ACHIEVE Programme’s CETO Electrical and Control Testing
During the quarter, Carnegie’s CETO technology was featured in Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (HPE)
‘Unlock Ambition’ campaign. Showcasing CETO's potential to power cities and industries, this
campaign is planned for broad dissemination following its debut on HPE’s Homepage and Media
platforms. This initiative also reflects the collaborative partnership between Carnegie and HPE,
through which CETO’s Reinforcement Learning (RL) controller will be tested in the ACHIEVE
Programme. This media builds upon the pre-existing content developed in collaboration with HPE,
including explainer animations and interview sessions. The full campaign video, alongside other media
developed in collaboration with HPE, is available for viewing on Carnegie’s website at
https://www.carnegiece.com/reinforcement-learning-controller/ .

Products – MoorPower
Having successfully completed the MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator project in collaboration with the
Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre, Carnegie is now focused on strategically accelerating the
entry into the commercial aquaculture market. The team has been undertaking a deep analysis of
operational requirements with the aquaculture sector and working towards securing the first
commercial MoorPower contract. This is being achieved through proactive engagement with key
industry partners, including aquaculture farm operators and barge manufacturers. These partnerships
ensure that MoorPower addresses specific requirements, such as enhanced stability in challenging
marine environments, cost-effective mooring solutions, and reduced environmental impact. Carnegie
ultimately aims to be a leading provider of advanced wave energy mooring solutions for the offshore
aquaculture industry.

EVENTS
Following the Carnegie Technologies Spain’s move to new Basque Country offices, the team recently
hosted students from Ander Deuna Ikastola. As part of the Egin eta Ekin program, these future clean
energy leaders visited to learn about the CETO technology and its upcoming deployment in the Basque
Country. It was a valuable opportunity to share our clean energy passion with the next generation.

Basque office for a site tour (right)
At World Maritime Week, ACHIEVE Project Manager, Miguel Santos Herran, delivered a presentation
on CETO and the ACHIEVE Programme during the Marine Energy Week sessions. Amidst a gathering
of industry leaders focused on advancements in ocean energy, Miguel provided an update on the
ACHIEVE Programme's progress towards CETO Deployment in the Basque Country.
