Israel’s first pilot station for generating electricity from sea waves will be on December 5, 2024, at Warehouse 2 in Jaffa Port.
Eco Wave Power Global, a provider of onshore wave energy technology, and EDF Renewables IL, in collaboration with the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the municipal company Atarim, will inaugurate the project.
The event will include a formal inauguration by Tel Aviv-Yafo Mayor Ron Huldai, followed by a reception at Warehouse 2 in Jaffa Port with senior energy officials, investors, and strategic partners.
The Eco Wave Power project was built in collaboration with EDF Renewables Israel, supported by the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Energy (which recognized the Company’s technology as “Pioneering Technology”) and Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality.
Electricity generated from sea waves will be supplied to the national grid — a historic milestone in Israel’s renewable energy journey.
“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,” said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power.
“Our partnership with Eco Wave Power gave birth to a unique pilot that harnesses wave energy to produce clean electricity,” said Ayalon Vaniche, CEO of EDF Renewables Israel.
The project is located within Atarim’s Blue Economy Innovation Hub at the Jaffa Port, alongside other marine innovation technologies.
