Eco Wave Power begins installation of 10 floater units in Israel project

This forms part of the EWP-EDF One wave energy project.

Eco Wave Power has started the installation of 10 floater units in the EWP-EDF One wave energy project in Israel.

“The installation of the first floater is a significant progress toward the first grid-connected wave energy array installation in Israel,” Inna Braverman, Chief Executive Officer of Eco Wave Power, said.

“Preparation for the installation of all remaining floaters on the external side of the Jaffa Port breakwater is in advanced stages and we are relishing over the prospect of being operative soon in the Mediterranean waves.”

The project included 10 floaters that were delivered under the agreement between EWP-EDF One Ltd. and Lesico Ltd. Its functionality and capacity tests will be conducted by the end of the second quarter.

“Our goal is to generate electricity during the third quarter of this year,” Braverman also said.

“This is a key milestone in the overall development of the Eco Wave Power technology, and we believe that the results are expected to enable us to take important steps toward the commercial rollout of our pioneering technology.”
