Oceanlinx currently has the following contracts and major projects:

  • Portland (Victoria, Australia): progressing the permitting stage for the deployment of multiple units into a wave energy array.
  • Port Kembla (New South Wales, Australia): a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) has been signed with Australian utility Integral Energy for the supply of electricity from the prototype 450kW unit.
  • Rhode Island (USA): a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Rhode Island State authority for a 1.5MW unit, followed by a 15 to 20MW electricity generating facility off the mainland.
  • GPP (Namibia): a signed contract with GPP, part of the listed Southern African Utility SELCo for a 1.5MW unit.  Once unit achieves agreed performance criteria to be followed by additional units, equivalent to 15MW.
  • Hawaii (USA): a signed MOU with an island in Hawaii for up to 2.7MW.
  • Mexico: a proposed project at Rosarito in Baja California, to be jointly developed with CFE and DEFAESA (the renewable arm of Grupo R) from 2010.

Offshore Port Kembla - Both wave energy devices developed and installed by Oceanlinx can be viewed in high resolution on Google Earth. It is believed that Oceanlinx is the first wave energy developer to have two different devices in the water concurrently. The bottom mounted MK 1 device can be viewed at 34° 27’ 07.6” S, 150° 54’ 06.8” E. The floating MK 2 device is positioned at 34° 28’ 16.7” S, 150° 54’ 56.5” E. Simply type these coordinates into the Fly To section, in the upper left hand corner of the Google Earth page.
