Eco Wave Power and Major Energy Company will Develop
First-Ever US Wave Energy Pilot Station at AltaSea's Premises in
the Port of LA
LOS ANGELES, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Wave Power
Global AB (publ) (NASDAQ: WAVE) ("Eco Wave Power" or the "Company")
today announced that it has entered an agreement with a major
energy company (full name can be seen in the Company's recent 20-F
report) to participate in the development of Eco Wave Power's first
project in the United States.
Recently, Eco Wave Power announced that it has conducted a
comprehensive feasibility study, with the same major energy
company, aimed at identifying the top locations for commercial
onshore wave energy stations along the U.S. coastline and
worldwide. The three-month, in-depth feasibility study which now
has been completed, has shown favorable conditions for clean energy
production in multiple locations in the U.S. and globally. In the
study, Eco Wave Power has pointed out to at least 77 sites in the
U.S. which may be compatible for the implementation of the Eco Wave
Power technology.
"Harnessing the power of ocean waves is a crucial step in
reshaping the renewable energy landscape to meet the net-zero goals
we must reach if we want to save our planet," said Eco Wave Power
Founder and CEO Inna Braverman. "I
am thrilled to work with an industry leader to bring wave energy to
life in the United States. This
underscores our commitment to sustainable innovation, and signifies
a pivotal moment as we move towards a cleaner, greener future."
Eco Wave Power developed a technology that efficiently converts
the constant motion of the ocean into clean, grid-connected energy.
The company has installed power stations in multiple locations. In
August 2023, Eco Wave Power
officially connected its landmark EWP-EDF One power station in
Tel Aviv to the grid – the first
time wave energy has provided power to Israel's national energy grid.
Wave energy has continued to gain significant momentum in
the United States since Eco Wave
Power first announced its pilot station at the Port of Los Angeles. The Governor of CaliforniaGavin
Newsom signed Senate Bill 605 ("SB 605") into law that directs the
state's Energy Commission to conduct an extensive feasibility study
of wave and tidal energy along California's coast. This is the first
legislation of its kind that actively explores the costs and
benefits of implementing wave energy technology. A similar bill in
New Jersey is under consideration
by the state legislature.
The United States Department of Energy's National Renewable
Energy Laboratory found that wave energy in the United States alone has the technical
resource potential to produce over 1,400 TWh/year – enough to power
130,000,000 homes.
