Carnegie will also provide $190,000 for the work. By year-end, the company hopes to have produced a renewable energy roadmap and an assessment of wave energy potential, as well as identifying a preferred site for six of the company’s CETO 6 turbines and designing of a microgrid-powered desalination plant on Rodrigues island.
