Eco Wave Power plans $150 mn wave energy plant in Turkey

Eco Wave Power and Ordu Enerji’s agreement

Eco Wave Power Global has entered into an agreement with OREN Ordu Enerji, a subsidiary of Ordu Municipality, for the construction of an up to 77-megawatt (MW) wave energy installation in Ordu, Turkey.

The estimated $150 million power station would be Turkey’s first grid-connected wave energy station, and would be the world’s largest wave energy power station.

Ordu Enerji will assign 9 breakwaters to Eco Wave Power for 25 years from activation of the relevant pilot or power station, while Eco Wave Power will be responsible for constructing, and commissioning the power plant and selling the electricity.

The 77 MW power station is planned to be constructed in several stages, starting with an up to 4 MW pilot station. Ordu Enerji has a right of first refusal to invest partially in different stages of the project.
