Eco Wave Power Global AB has announced that Eco Wave Power and EDF Renewables IL, in collaboration with the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the municipal company Atarim, are to inaugurate Israel’s first pilot station for generating electricity from ocean wave sources on 5 December at Jaffa Port. It will be supplying its output to the national grid.
The Eco Wave Power project was built in collaboration with EDF Renewables Israel, supported by the chief scientist of the ministry of Energy, which has recognised the company’s achievement as ‘pioneering technology’.
The project is located within Atarim’s Blue Economy Innovation Hub at the Jaffa Port, alongside other cutting-edge marine innovation technologies.
“The launch of Israel’s first wave energy power plant is more than just a technological achievement – it is a powerful statement about the future we envision. This project at Jaffa Port represents a historic milestone in the global renewable energy journey, proving that sea waves can be a viable, clean, and consistent source of electricity. We are proud to collaborate with EDF Renewables IL, Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, and Atarim to place Israel at the forefront of wave energy innovation. Together, we are creating a new wave of possibilities in the fight against climate change,” said Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power.
The company, which has received support from prestigious institutions such as the European Union Regional Development Fund, Innovate UK, and the Horizon 2020 programme, is preparing to install projects at the Port of Los Angeles, Taiwan, and Portugal.
