Hopefully this is what will happen for Carnegie Wave Energy in 5 or so years time........
German wind turbine manufacturer Nordex has secured an order to supply wind turbines to a project by Enel Green Power in South Africa.
Nordex will supply 37 N117/3000 wind turbines to the 111 MW project by Enel Green Power at Gibson Bay in Eastern Cape province. According the Nordex, the project will be the first in South Africa to be fitted with generation delta turbines which will generate more electricity compared to other turbines. The turbines can give a capacity factor of 43%, which is higher compared to the average achieved by other turbines.
This will be the fourth wind energy project auctioned under the REIPPPP to have wind turbines supplied by Nordex. Other projects with Nordex turbines are the 100 MW Dorper project, the 134.4 MW Amakhala project, and the 80 MW Kouga project. All these projects were allocated in the first round of the REIPPPP auctions. Thus, Nordex enjoys a 20% share in the 1,983 MW wind energy capacity auctioned during the 3 rounds.

From what I understand though, Carnegie is not aiming to supply, they are aiming to license someone else to supply their patented stuff.
