Carnegie Clean Energy has secured $2.134 million from its shareholders, funds that will go toward the first deployment of the CETO wave energy device in Europe and its commercialization. The proceeds were raised through its share purchase plan (SPP), which was completed on June 21.

These revenues obtained through the SPP will match the funding from Spain and the Basque Country, facilitating the initial deployment of CETO in Europe. In addition, they will strengthen the business development and working capital necessary for the commercialization of the technology.

Separately, Carnegie’s subsidiary, CETO Wave Energy Ireland (CWEI), signed an assignment agreement in April 2024 that grants it access to a berth reservation agreement at BiMEP, marking significant progress toward CETO’s 2025 deployment.
