USN - Wave Energy

We know that the United States Navy is interested in wave energy but where would they like to use it?

Here is an old article, that shows just how long they have been searching and the type of base where it could be used.

It helps to explain why they became interested in PWEP. They have been searching for solutions for many years.

We should expect another visit from them in the near future.

"The U.S. Navy maintains a remote installation on the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos
Archipelago, Indian Ocean. This facility uses more than 65 MWh of electricity and 350 M-gal of
water annually."

"Throughout the globe, the U.S. Navy maintains
numerous bases which depend on reliable sources of electricity and freshwater to support
operations. Since most Navy bases are located on open coastlines, a viable potential exists to tap
the renewable energy resources of the world’s oceans. One base, in particular, was recently a
candidate for ocean energy system implementation. That base was the Navy Support Facility on
the Diego Garcia atoll."
