Bombora Wave Power has signed a Technology Evaluation Agreement with Anoa Power of Indonesia.
This agreement is a precursor to formulation of a manufacturing and distribution arrangement for Bombora Wave Energy Collectors (WEC) into Indonesia.
Indonesia’s extensive archipelago faces significant challenges with its complex power network. The deployment of Bombora WEC in the remote coastal regions would vastly improve access to electrical power.
The Bombora WEC rests on the sea floor allowing large waves to pass over the top of the device with minimal interruption. In stormy conditions the membrane can also be deflated. These features protect the Bombora WEC from damage in large or rogue waves. Storm resistance has proved to be a significant challenge for the wave energy industry up to now.
The Bombora WEC is well below the sea surface and has minimal impact on coastal utilisation while delivering clean energy.
Under the agreement Anoa Power will evaluate suitable deployment sites while Bombora will confirm electricity generation capability across these locations.
