It is good to see that things are getting started at Wave Hub. It is also encouraging to see how much of the Wello project is being funded by Horizon 2020.
The Penguin device has an output of 1MW the same as CETO 6. A head to head comparison will be able to be made between the two once CWE get their devices in the water.
"Finnish wave developer Wello’s Penguin device has arrived in the Cornish port of Falmouth following an eight-day tow from the European Marine Energy Centre off Orkney.
The Penguin departed Kirkwall Hatston Quay on 11 January and was towed by Orkney-based contractor Green Marine.
The 1MW wave converter will be deployed at the Wave Hub test site later this year as part of the EU Horizon 2020-backed Clean Energy from Ocean Waves project. A further two 1MW devices will be manufactured and deployed to complete a wave energy array."

"The Horizon 2020 fund granted €17m of the project’s total €24.5m budget."
