EWP-EDF One Progresses in Israel

Eco Wave Power launches the connection of its project, EWP-EDF One, to the Israeli energy grid.

Please share:

EWP-EDF One is progressing. The Israeli Electric Authority (IEA) sets the feed-in tariff for its project.

EWP-EDF One, an ambitious project

Eco Wave Power’s project, EWP-EDF One, has had its feed-in tariff (FIT) set by the IEA. Thus, the Israeli Electric Company (IEC) is starting work on the connection to the country’s energy network. This is the first time that electricity generated by wave power will be transmitted to the country’s electrical grid.

Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power, is excited:

“The official start of grid connection for our EWP-EDF One project is a moment we have been waiting for, as it represents an important milestone for our company and our country.”

The successful tests in July 2022 gave the green light for the continuation of the project. Their purpose was to examine the operation of the mechanical and hydraulic subsystems of the facility.

David Leb, founder and board member of Eco Wave Power, said:

“We are pleased with the results of our first ever field test. We look forward to the completion of the grid connection work by the Israeli Eletric Company.”

The next phases of the project are the connection to the network, which is underway, as well as the testing of the entire system. Once all phases are completed, Eco Wave Power will launch the power plant.

“A positive change.”

A first for Israel, Eco Wave Power is committed to making a positive change in the midst of the energy crisis. The EWP-EDF One project is the reflection of a will that will mark the history of a country.

Inna Braverman comments:

“Eco Wave Power is committed to making a positive change in the world, and we look forward to turning on the EWP-EDF One project switch at Jaffa Port.”

In addition, the company also has a project at the AltaSea site in the Port of Los Angeles. It will begin the installation of its technology there. In addition, it also has concession agreements for commercial facilities in Portugal, Spain…

Eco Wave Power has a pipeline of 327.7 MW. The Israeli Ministry of Energy is participating as a co-investor in the EWP-EDF One project. It has also received funding from the European Union’s Regional Development Fund.
