Always happy to see any article and any quotes but...
There is so much I hate about when I read CWE articles where they still cling to the "WA beat up" style reporting and incorrect facts .  Geeze do they proof read articles at all and help publications?   They by now have enough runs on the board and good engineering and technology not to have to use the emotional and sensationalist publicity terms they keep spitting out in my opinion .  use em in a newspaper but not in a industry article IMO.

"world’s first commercial-scale wave energy array to be connected to the grid and produce desalinated water"

"broke a world record by completing 14,000 cumulative operating hours – the highest number of hours ever recorded for the global wave energy industry."

Interesting admission?
"The hydraulic energy also assists with a reverse-osmosis desalination process – significantly reducing the electrical power required to produce potable water."

Wrong?
"was a pilot program involving CETO 5 units, which are fully-submerged buoys that use waves to drive pumps and generators and deliver power back to shore through subsea cables"

Using terms like high voltage ????  So many different standards so I don't know what voltage they are referring to?
From wiki.
In electric power transmission engineering, high voltage is usually considered any voltage over approximately 35,000 volts. This is a classification based on the design of apparatus and insulation.
The International Electrotechnical Commission and its national counterparts (IET, IEEE, VDE, etc.) define high voltage as above 1000 V for alternating current, and at least 1500 V for direct current—and distinguish it from low voltage (50–1000 V AC or 120–1500 V DC) and extra-low voltage (<50 V AC or <120 V DC) circuits. This is in the context of building wiring and the safety of electrical apparatus.
In the United States 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) is the standard regulating most electrical installations. There are no definitions relating to high voltage. The NEC® covers voltages 600 volts and less and that over 600 volts. The National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) defines high voltage as over 100kV to 230kV. British Standard BS 7671:2008 defines high voltage as any voltage difference between conductors that is higher than 1000 V AC or 1500 V ripple-free DC, or any voltage difference between a conductor and Earth that is higher than 600 V AC or 900 V ripple-free DC
