Agulhas Current HAE
The Agulhas Current HAE project was a plan to harness the energy of the Agulhas Current off the east coast of eThekwini Municipality, South Africa, to generate electricity using HAE's Oceanus turbine. The eThekwini municipality has a population of approximately 3.5 million and its major city is Durban; the municipality confirmed its ability to purchase electricity directly from independent power producers such as HAE, provided that it complies with applicable legislative and municipal procurement procedures. This project was intended as a demonstration of HAE's technology, with the potential to deploy additional units at a later time.
