A 20-megawatt wave farm in Bermuda is the latest project to be embarked upon by Renewable Energy Holdings.

Isle of Man-based Renewable Energy (REH) has signed a memorandum of understanding with a Bermudan company, Triton Renewable Energy, for a joint venture to build an initial 2MW test site, using REH’s nascent ‘CETO’ wave power technology.

Subject to local regulatory approvals, the two companies then hope to install a 20MW wave farm, connected to Bermuda’s grid and able to supply Bermuda with electricity and ‘the option of desalinated water’.

AIM-quoted REH says it expects to conclude negotiations this year, while CETO is ‘in the final stages of commercial testing’ with a commercial launch anticipated in 2009.

Chief executive officer Mike Proffitt says ‘Bermuda has an excellent wave regime and there are several sites which we believe would be suitable for a CETO wave farm.’
REH shares, which halved to 33p in 2006, now stand at 43p, where they offer speculative long-term potential.
