Global manufacturer SKF and Carnegie partner on CETO’s Power Take-Off (PTO) System
PTO design for ACHIEVE Programme delivered via joint project between SKF and Carnegie
SKF awarded contract to manufacture 3 PTO units for the ACHIEVE Programme
Carnegie Clean Energy Limited (ASX: CCE) (“Carnegie” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an
important partnership with global industrial leader, SKF, on the delivery of CETO’s Power Take-Off
(PTO) system. SKF brings a wealth of expertise in bearings, seals, and related services. As a first step
towards a long-term technical partnership on the commercialisation of Carnegie’s CETO wave energy
technology, SKF and Carnegie are collaborating on the design and delivery of the Power Take-Off (PTO)
units for the ACHIEVE Programme.
Having recognised Carnegie’s CETO technology as a leading wave energy solution, SKF provided early
ACHIEVE PTO bearing and shaft design activities under a Development Agreement between the
companies. Following completion of those design activities, SKF has subsequently been contracted to
manufacture three PTO units for the ACHIEVE Programme’s CETO deployment at the Biscay Marine
Energy Platform (BiMEP).

(OEE), where Carnegie is also an active member. SKF is the first major supply chain company to join
the OEE board, signalling an increasing recognition of the industrial growth opportunity the ocean
energy sector provides. Carnegie’s partnership with SKF builds on SKF’s involvement in numerous EUfunded ocean energy projects focused on tidal power commercialisation and aligns with their strategic
expansion into wave energy applications.
“Carnegie is one of the leading wave energy device developers globally. Our existing partnership
evolved over time from single rotating equipment components to a fully integrated power take-off
system which we have been jointly developing with the Carnegie team. We are proud to be part of
this journey and are looking forward to commercialising the technology going forward”, says Michael
Baumann, Global Application Account Manager, Ocean Energy at SKF.
Carnegie welcomes this partnership with SKF and is excited to work together on the commercialisation
of the CETO technology, contributing to the global transition towards clean and sustainable energy.
Carnegie CEO Jonathan Fievez commented: “The SKF partnership reinforces our supply chain with a
globally recognised leader that is capable of adding value as we progress CETO’s commercialisation
pathway. By leveraging SKF's established expertise and advanced technologies, we are ensuring CETO
maintains its position as a leading wave energy solution for the long term. We are very pleased to
collaborate with SKF, a global precision manufacturer with production capacity that can match the
intended CETO scale-up.”

ABOUT ACHIEVE PROGRAMME
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).
Through this collaborative initiative, Carnegie will
deploy and operate a CETO prototype at the Basque
Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) in the Basque
Country, Spain, commencing in 2025, marking a key
step on CETO’s commercialisation pathway. The CETO Unit will operate for 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.
ABOUT EUROPEWAVE
EuropeWave PCP is an innovative R&D programme for wave
energy technology, which runs from 2022 to 2026. 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.
