Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) announced that its landmark EWP-EDF One wave energy power station in the Port of Jaffa, Israel, has received the final grant funding from the Israeli Ministry of Energy, marking the official completion of the project. The wave energy project, executed in collaboration with EDF Renewables IL, and with co-funding from the Israeli Ministry of Energy, which recognized the Eco Wave Powerâs technology as a âPioneering Technologyâ, is set to be Israelâs first onshore wave energy power station, officially connected to the national electrical grid. The EWP-EDF One power station has an installed capacity of 100 KW and is made up of 10 floaters along the Port of Jaffaâs pre-existing breakwater.
Each floater connects to Eco Wave Powerâs patented energy conversion unit, which is located on land, enabling easy access for operation and maintenance. The next step is to officially connect the EWP-EDF One power station to Israelâs energy grid. The Company is waiting for the last technical approval from the Israeli Electric Company, and anticipates an official âplugging inâ ceremony in the coming months.
