Bombora signs wave power technology evaluation agreement with RI firm

Australian renewable energy company Bombora Wave Power announced Monday the signing of a Technology Evaluation Agreement with Anoa Power of Indonesia.
The company said in a statement that this agreement is a precursor to formulation of a manufacturing and distribution arrangement for Bombora Wave Energy Collectors (WEC) into Indonesia.
Bombora said 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.
Indonesia?s average wave energy resource level (kW/m) is somewhat less than that available in regions such as southern Australia. The Bombora WEC collects wave energy from a wide wave front making it very attractive for the Indonesian requirements.
Bombora said that under the agreement, Anoa Power will evaluate suitable deployment sites while Bombora will confirm electricity generation capability across these locations.
