Eco Wave Power’s design is space-efficient, causing minimal disruption, unlike solar and wind farms. As cities embrace renewable energy, Eco Wave Power expects to be a key provider, focusing on cities with large marine structures, strong wave activity, and favorable policies.
An example is the Jaffa Port project (EWP-EDF One) in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, where Eco Wave Power installed a 100-kW station in collaboration with EDF Renewables IL. Co-funded by the Israeli Ministry of Energy, it became the first wave energy project in Israel to connect to the national grid on August 15, 2023. The project is undergoing continuous R&D, with performance improvements to be deployed in commercial-scale projects in Portugal. Initial results show significant progress, with downtime reduced from 35% in January 2024 to 0% by June, and energy generation nearing the site’s target by June 2024.
A 1 MW wave energy station produces 3,695,712 kWh annually, avoiding 2,613 metric tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to 294,027 gallons of gasoline. It achieves an LCOE of 42 Euros per MWh at 20 MW scale, lower than offshore wind and tidal energy.
Comprised of floaters submerged in the ocean/sea attached to structures such as piers and jetties, Eco Wave Power uses specially designed floaters use buoyancy force, changes in water level and flow, the ‘airlock’ effect, and the vertical movement of waves, to create an efficient energy conversion process. This system serves communities that have less heavy energy requirements and do not have the means for a cumbersome system that could be found further offshore. As such, the capital expenditure requirements are vastly reduced – about 1 million USD per Megawatt installed.
