Carnegie Assembling CETO Unit for October Deployment
• CETO power take-off assembly underway in Germany before return to Basque Country for
ACHIEVE Programme’s ocean deployment
• Staged deployment, commissioning and testing commencing in October 2026
• Offshore deployment and onshore testing will validate 3 years of intensive project specific
design and construction of CETO technology
Carnegie Clean Energy (ASX: CCE) (“Carnegie” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on
the assembly and deployment plans for the Company’s leading wave energy technology, CETO, under
the ACHIEVE Programme, which is funding CETO’s grid connected build and installation at the Biscay
Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP).
Fabrication of the ACHIEVE CETO Unit’s Power Take-Off (PTO) Modules is nearing completion in the
Basque Country, with the first of the three PTO Modules recently delivered to one of SKF’s global
manufacturing facilities in Germany, where final PTO assembly works are being undertaken.

Delivered through Carnegie’s partnership with global precision manufacturer SKF, assembly works
involve the integration of all PTO equipment into each of the three PTO Modules, including generators,
tensioners, shafts, couplings, bearings, seals, and sensors. This activity essentially connects all the
power generating equipment inside the module.

The current PTO assembly works follow on from the previously completed assembly of the Electrical
Module (EM), undertaken with SEI, a local Basque supplier. As the PTO Module assembly process
advances, system testing will be undertaken to validate communication between the EM and PTO
Modules in preparation for offshore deployment.

Carnegie’s CEO Jonathan Fievez has recently returned from site visits to inspect assembly activities
and meet with key suppliers and stakeholders.
Jonathan Fievez said today “there is a growing sense of excitement amongst our talented team that
offshore deployment is getting closer. We look forward to meeting the goal of having our world
leading offshore power generation device in the water in 2026. Delivery of CETO will position Carnegie
at the forefront of ocean energy and provide a strong platform for commercial project opportunities
into the future.”
Carnegie will undertake a staged deployment and commissioning process for the ACHIEVE CETO Unit,
commencing with deployment of the foundations at Carnegie’s BiMEP berth in the coming quarter.
The first stage of the CETO Unit’s ocean deployment is planned for October 2026 with subsequent
ocean deployment, commissioning and testing stages progressively completing the system and
moving to optimisation.

Carnegie is currently procuring specialist marine contractors to undertake the installation of
foundations and mooring systems, connection to the existing export cable and installation of the CETO
Unit. Timing of ocean deployment will be subject to prevailing contractor availability, supply chain and
weather conditions.

commercialisation pathway.
ABOUT EUROPEWAVE
EuropeWave PCP is an innovative R&D programme for wave
energy technology. It combines over €22.5m of national,
regional and EU funding to drive a competitive Pre-Commercial
Procurement (PCP) programme for wave energy.
Originally pioneered by the Wave Energy Scotland programme, the PCP model provides a structured
approach, fostering greater openness, collaboration and sharing of risk between the public sector and
technology developers. The programme will focus on the design, development, and demonstration of
cost-effective wave energy converter (WEC) systems for electrical power production that can survive
in the harsh ocean environment.
Match-funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, EuropeWave is a collaboration between Wave
Energy Scotland (WES), the Basque Energy Agency (EVE) and Ocean Energy Europe (OEE). This
collaboration is closely aligned with the decarbonisation, industrial and competitiveness objectives of
the European Green Deal, and is part of a range of actions being taken to meet the European
Commission’s targets of 100MW of ocean energy by 2027 and at least 1GW by 2030.
The EuropeWave Project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon
2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 883751.
