Feedback sought on SA wave plant

The ABC has a report on a small wave power plant proposed for South Australia – Feedback sought on wave plant impact.

A $5 million wave-energy plant off South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula is a step closer, with public comment being invited on its environmental impact. Wave Rider Energy hopes to install the plant 800 metres offshore from Elliston.

The company’s managing director, Christian Gerlach, says it is hoped federal approval for the project can be secured in March. He says the plant would be built in Adelaide and towed to Elliston early next year.
