Letter From
the Chairman
2026
We are already executing on the next phase of
our utility-scale roadmap with the development
of a multi-megawatt CETO array to follow
on from ACHIEVE at the same site in Spain
- BiMEP. The learnings, models, and supply
chain established through ACHIEVE provide
the baseline to continue to expand and
commercialise CETO.
During the year, the team also undertook
activities to develop alternative products for
markets such as aquaculture and defence. The
team completed preliminary design activities
for the MoorPower Commercial Pilot and we are
continuing discussions with aquaculture leaders
to deploy wave-powered solutions on working
feed barges, directly displacing high-risk
diesel generation. Internationally, our selection
for technical support under the US TEAMER
programme, in collaboration with Kelson Marine
Co., allows us to adapt our core wave IP for
offshore aquaculture pens.
The promise of Carnegie’s wave energy IP for
defence applications has also been recognised
with the Power and Energy Innovation Award
from the Australian Defence Force’s Advanced
Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA).
Over recent months, Carnegie has deepened
its engagement across the defence sector,
advancing strategic discussions on how
persistent wave power can unlock sovereign
energy autonomy at sea.
Amid sustained global energy volatility and
supply pressures, the need to transition to
dependable, clean, sovereign power has never
been clearer. As grids incorporate more variable
wind and solar, maintaining continuous network
reliability remains a challenge. Ocean wave
energy provides a predictable, consistent, high-
density source of renewable power to meet this
challenge, positioning Carnegie to deliver the
resilient energy our future networks demand.
Addressable markets are emerging not only in
utility scale grid connection, but also micro-grid
applications, defence, and emerging data centre
demand.
Translating this potential into tangible
infrastructure is our ACHIEVE Programme,
which is delivering the design, manufacture,
deployment and operations of a scaled CETO
Unit at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform
(BiMEP) in the Basque Country, Spain. Over the
course of the year, the team has progressed the
manufacture of the main structures and have
completed Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
across structural and electrical subsystems,
including CETO foundations, control systems,
and primary mooring connectors. In Germany,
our manufacturing partner SKF has been
assembling our Power Take-Off (PTO) units
ahead of an onshore dry-testing campaign to
ensure operational reliability offshore. With
Spanish regulatory, seabed, and grid connection
permits secured, we have established a staged
offshore installation schedule targeting the first
stage of CETO ocean deployment soon at BiMEP.
The ACHIEVE deployment serves as the
springboard for our future commercial activities
by validating CETO in open ocean conditions and
delivering a data set to unlock investment in
future arrays.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for Carnegie
Clean Energy for the financial year ending 30 June 2026.
Carnegie Clean Energy Annual Report 2026 5
The global market can help pave the way for commercial wave energy deployment by providing long-
term revenue certainty and bankability as is being seen through mechanisms such as the UK’s Contracts
for Difference (CFD) scheme. Just as targeted tariff mechanisms transformed offshore wind and solar
into mainstream utility assets, ring-fenced revenue support will help establish financial sustainability
needed for commercial wave farms. These policies in development provide a direct route to market for
our future commercial projects.
Private investment in ocean energy is accelerating, with over $400m secured globally in private capital
over the past five years. Institutional investors, venture capital funds, and multinational energy leaders
are increasingly backing leading developers to take steps towards commercial arrays.
Driving down the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) remains fundamental to our long-term commercial
competitiveness. As a key technology reference partner in the EU’s €4 million Horizon Europe-funded
COIN Project, we are validating advanced control systems, AI-driven wave prediction, and novel quick-
connectors designed to reduce energy costs by 30% for future CETO arrays.
After the year end, we delivered finance activities to support the company’s financial sustainability.
We extended the maturity of our existing $2.5 million loan facility to June 2027 and increased the
commitment amount by $1 million, bringing the facility to $3.5 million. This loan provides cash flow
support bridging the gaps between the timing of ACHIEVE programme expenditure and non-dilutive
grant drawdowns. After the financial year end, we also strengthened our balance sheet with a $2.5
million Private Placement backed by overseas investors, providing funding to advance multi-megawatt
array development, support business expansion across Europe and the US, and execute our commercial
pipeline.
The wave energy sector is entering a decisive period, supported by significant international policy
tailwinds and increasing private capital. Carnegie is well placed to lead this emerging global industry,
backed by proprietary IP, world-class partners, and an outstanding team.
It has been pleasing to see strength in the share price over the last 12 months, it demonstrates the
value that is being built by the team now and into the future. On behalf of the Board, I extend our
sincere gratitude to our shareholders for your commitment and support. Your investment continues to
drive an Australian technology company to a leading position in international ocean energy. I also wish
to thank CEO Jonathan Fievez, our executive management, and every member of the Carnegie team for
their dedicated efforts throughout this transformative year.

Global Context and Opportunity
Global Wave Resource
Why Wave Energy?
Wave energy’s unique characteristics provide an opportunity to play a key role in the global
clean energy transition. The wave energy industry is demonstrating a clear path to commercial
viability, driven by targeted deployments, significant investment and an increasing focus on the
unique benefits offered by wave energy generation.
With expanding renewable energy portfolio requirements and a global push for net-zero targets, the time
is now for wave energy. Waves are generated by large-scale weather systems and are more predictable
than traditional renewable energy sources, helping to provide a more stable foundation for the grid. This
makes wave energy an ideal complement to other renewables, such as solar and wind. By balancing the
intermittency of solar PV and wind, wave power reduces the overall requirement of battery storage and
backup generation. Studies consistently show that a diversified renewable energy portfolio including
wave energy lowers total system costs while providing a more resilient, stable baseload supply.
In addition, wave energy converters operate in marine environments where space constraints and
visual amenity concerns are reduced. Operating fully submerged beneath the surface, Carnegie’s
CETO technology delivers clean electricity without visual impact from shore and naturally avoids
extreme surface forces during severe weather. Alternative applications of the CETO technology such as
MoorPower offer a direct, zero-emission alternative to diesel generators on offshore aquaculture feed
barges and moored maritime vessels.
Carnegie Clean Energy Annual Report 2026 9
Decarbonisation of the Blue
Economy:
Maritime industries are expanding further
offshore into areas without shore-based
grid access. Eliminating high-emission,
high-maintenance diesel generators across
aquaculture, offshore mooring, offshore
charging, and naval sites creates a market for
wave energy systems.
Strengthening Policy &
Investment Tailwinds:
Governments worldwide are writing binding
ocean energy deployment targets into law.
Led by the European Union’s target of 40 GW
of ocean energy capacity by 2050, alongside
accelerating funding programmes across Europe
and North America, public and private capital
is mobilising around wave energy as a critical
component of net-zero compliance.
Driving the Acceleration of Wave Energy
Grid Stability:
Grids require continuous 24/7 reliability. Wave energy delivers an abundant, predictable generation
profile that peaks during periods of high winter demand.
Industrial Scale & Cost Reduction:
The wave energy sector is tracking the established commercial cost trajectories previously
demonstrated by offshore wind and solar PV. Capital expenditure and Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE)
are falling as the sector advances from single prototypes to pre-commercial arrays.
Wave energy is
special. A portfolio of
wave, wind and solar
energy can deliver
an affordable clean
energy future.

CETO®
Technology
Named after a Greek sea goddess, CETO is Carnegie’s core wave energy technology with the
potential to revolutionise renewable power production globally. CETO harnesses the enormous,
untapped energy present in ocean waves and converts it into grid-ready electricity. CETO is a
unique, fully submerged, point absorber type wave energy technology. A submerged buoy sits
a few metres below the surface of the ocean and moves with the ocean’s waves. This orbital
motion drives a power take-off (PTO) system that converts this motion into electricity.
Submerged operation gives CETO two distinct advantages: zero visual impact and storm survivability.
Buoys can be actively lowered to deeper, calmer waters during extreme sea states while maintaining
safe energy capture. Modular and scalable, CETO is engineered for diverse commercial applications:
from unlocking energy autonomy for island networks and coastal industry to utility-scale arrays feeding
power directly into national grids. As the ocean energy sector industrialises, CETO is positioned to mirror
the rapid commercial scale-up demonstrated by offshore wind and solar.
CETO is progressing to open-water deployment under Carnegie’s ACHIEVE Programme, which is
deploying a scaled prototype at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP). The Company is also
developing a subsequent 6 MW CETO array at the same site, advancing from scaled prototype to small
array, a key step in CETO’s commercialisation pathway.
In parallel, Carnegie continues to participate in international research and development projects to
drive specific advancements in the CETO technology. These projects are focused on supporting technical
areas in which there are opportunities to drive down the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE), benefiting
CETO’s commercialisation pathway.

ACHIEVE Programme Activities
Over the last year, the ACHIEVE Programme has progressed through component manufacturing, sub-
system factory acceptance testing, site preparation, and assembly in preparation for deployment of the
CETO wave energy converter at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque Country, Spain.
The structural framework of the three power take-off (PTO) modules, which act as the powerhouse of
the CETO system, were fabricated locally in the Basque Country then shipped to a specialist partner,
SKF, in Germany. At their precision facility, SKF then assemble the full PTO Units, integrating all the
equipment (generators, shafts, bearings, seals, couplings, and sensors) inside the module before
returning the completed modules back to the Basque country for final onshore testing and offshore
deployment.
To reduce technical risk ahead of offshore operations, Carnegie established an onshore testing regime
that has been delivered though all stages of the ACHIEVE Programme. Recent testing activities included
integrated electrical and control testing and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing which verified control
software against simulated extreme sea states.
On the mechanical side, the team completed belt tension trials, verified self-aligning sheave tracking,
and completed Factory Acceptance Testing for the foundations, metallic tensioners, and primary mooring
connectors. In the final major testing activity before deployment, the PTO modules are functionally
tested against each other in a “back-to-back” configuration. This final testing process will validate core
functions before the unit is deployed offshore.
In preparation for the staged deployment of the ACHIEVE CETO unit, site works have been undertaken
by Carnegie and BiMEP. Activities have included the deployment of wave buoys to measure metocean
conditions, subsea cable works and onshore electrical testing. With regulatory approvals all received for
the deployment, further offshore works are being undertaken in preparation for the staged deployment
commencing later this year.
To date, Carnegie has unlocked milestone payments for the ACHIEVE Programme totalling €3.73m
(approx. $6.05mm AUD). This includes €2.21M (approx. $3.6m AUD) from the EuropeWave PCP Programme,
€318K (approx. $545K AUD) from Ente Vasco de la Energía (EVE – the Basque Energy Agency), and €1.2m
(approx. $2.1m AUD) from RENMARINAS Demos. These milestone payments have been received following
delivery of project milestones including design, procurement and testing of key equipment.

Scaling CETO
In North America, Carnegie continues to
explore opportunities to support remote energy
transitions and unlock commercial pipelines.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with tribal consortium Chugachmiut, Carnegie
is assessing the feasibility of deploying CETO
to provide clean, predictable wave power for
remote Alaskan communities. Chugachmiut has
undertaken some preliminary activities including
capturing local wave data to inform future work
together.
Building directly on operational momentum
from the ACHIEVE Programme, Carnegie signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in
July 2025 to develop a 6 MW CETO commercial
wave array in the Basque Country. Up to six 1 MW
CETO units could be connected to the Basque
energy grid via BiMEP’s offshore infrastructure.
This potential project would advance CETO
from demonstration scale in ACHIEVE to
deployment of full scale CETO Units in a small
array. Development activities have progressed in
parallel with the ACHIEVE Programme, advancing
array layout designs, grid integration studies,
regional supply chain engagement, and co-
funding opportunities.
