Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Eco Wave Power, Zelestra, Saatvik Solar, and others.
Eco Wave Power Completes Feasibility Study for 8.3 MW Wave Energy Project in South Africa
Eco Wave Power has completed a feasibility study for a proposed wave energy power station at the Port of Ngqura, South Africa, reporting encouraging technical results. Conducted with Africa Great Future Development Ltd (AGFDL), the study identified the potential to install approximately 8.3 MW of onshore wave energy capacity along the port’s existing breakwater infrastructure, subject to permitting and further development. The assessment evaluated wave resource availability, site conditions, and system configuration, confirming the port’s suitability for wave power integration. The project marks Eco Wave Power’s strategic entry into the African renewable energy market. If advanced, it could become Africa’s first wave energy station, supporting South Africa’s clean energy transition and addressing ongoing power supply challenges.
Zelestra Begins Construction of 9.5 MW Agrivoltaic Solar Plant in Sicily
Zelestra has started construction of its second solar plant in Italy, the 9.5 MWdc Bellomo project in Modica, Sicily. The development marks the company’s first agrivoltaic solar plant in Sicily, combining photovoltaic power generation with agricultural use to optimize land efficiency and sustainability. The project is backed by an innovative partnership with BKW under a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA). The agreement also covers the recently commissioned 6.5 MWdc Ginosa solar plant in Puglia, strengthening the companies’ long-term renewable energy collaboration. The Bellomo agrivoltaic project supports Italy’s clean energy targets while promoting sustainable farming practices. It reinforces Zelestra’s multi-technology growth strategy and highlights increasing demand for stable, long-term solar PPAs in Europe’s renewable energy market.
