Exporting Electricity to Israel’s Power Grid. |
Tel
Aviv, Israel – December 9, 2024 – Eco Wave Power Global AB (Nasdaq: WAVE) (“Eco Wave Power” or the “Company”),
a leading provider of onshore wave energy technology, is pleased to announce that the Israeli Project was officially “switched-on”
by Israel’s Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Eli Cohen, the Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, and the
Mayor of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Ron Huldai, and is now exporting electricity into Israel’s power grid. The Israeli National Electric
Company (“IEC”) is the purchaser of all the clean energy produced by this innovative project.
The
Project is the only wave power plant anywhere in Middle East, operating under the terms of a Power Purchase Agreement entered into
with IEC, as part of the project’s recognition as a “Pioneering Technology” by the Chief Scientist of the Energy Ministry,
Government of Israel.
“The
State of Israel is a global leader in innovation and technology. The facility we inaugurated today, which generates electricity using
sea waves, was advanced with the support of the Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Energy and is the first of its kind in Israel. This
is another step we are taking to increase energy production from renewable sources, reduce air pollution for the benefit of Israeli citizens’
health, and enhance the country’s energy security. We will continue to invest in groundbreaking innovation!” Stated Eli Cohen,
Israel’s Minister for Energy and Infrastructure.
Idit
Silman, Minister of Environmental Protection, said: “I think you are a shining example of how ambitious renewable energy goals
can be achieved. Israel faces significant security challenges, making energy decentralization a critical issue. While Israel benefits
from abundant solar energy, which is commendable, it is not enough. We must explore all renewable energy options. This is a unique opportunity
for Israel to demonstrate how green technology utilizing the waves can be implemented and truly make a difference. I am pleased that
this exceptional pilot project is moving forward. As the Ministry of Environmental Protection, we support the entire regulatory framework
for green electricity. I am glad we are here to assist, extend our support, and encourage these efforts. This approach is both environmentally
friendly and green, and there’s nothing greener than this. I want to wish you great success. We would be delighted to see this green
economy grow and develop, and we will continue to support you.”
Mayor
of Tel Aviv-Jaffa Ron Huldai stated that: “There is a growing strain on Earth, caused by the ever-increasing human population
that damages it. We are destroying the very place we live in. As a municipality and as part of the forum of 15 major cities within the
C40 network, we are partners in addressing these issues. One of those issues is precisely this kind of initiative. In our DNA, Israel
has the innate ability to dare and to do things others haven’t tried, as well as the courage to fail—and that is incredibly
important for achieving great things. So, when Inna approached me with this kind of energy and audacity, of course, I said, ‘Go
for it, show us what you can do.’ And I’m happy that today we can proudly say, ‘We have a wave energy power station!’”
Ayalon
Vaniche, CEO of EDF Renewables IL, stated as follows: “The Israeli innovation culture is the main reason for which EDF, the
giant electricity company, French state-owned utility, decided to invest so much in Israel. I have to say that wave energy generation
is a big challenge; the energy of the waves is beyond what the usual human construction can sustain. Therefore, it is very difficult
to build something that will produce energy offshore (middle of the ocean), and this is what we usually did. This is why we like the
idea of Eco Wave Power. In Eco Wave Power’s technology, the complex part is on the ground, and the floaters are nearshore. This
is simple. We agreed quickly with Inna that only a real pilot could demonstrate what we wanted. Calculations and piloting in the laboratory
don’t convince anybody, so we needed an operational project connected to the grid, and we got the support of the Ministry of Energy,
the Ministry of Environmental protection and the support of the Municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the Atarim Group and Jaffa Port.”
“We
built a joint team, in which EDF brought some expertise in terms of design, safety, purchasing, construction, and now in terms of operation.
We got to know the Eco Wave Power team, and we built a solid cooperation. I am very confident that we will be able to learn together
a lot from this pilot and that it will bring a lot of new alternatives and diversification in the sources of energy. Many thanks to Inna,
to the whole team at Eco Wave Power and all the EDF teams that have been mobilized for that. May this innovative technology bring light
and hope to our region!” Added Vaniche
Inna
Braverman Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power said: “One of the most inspiring aspects of technology is its ability to cross
borders and benefit communities worldwide. A perfect example is Gaza, where a pilot based on Eco Wave Power’s Israeli technology
has been implemented on its coastline. This demonstrates that even regions that do not maintain formal relations with Israel still need
and use Israeli innovations. In fact, since the war started, Eco Wave Power has been approached by national electric companies and engineers
in countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Qatar to explore the potential of this technology. It’s a powerful reminder
that solutions to global challenges can unite us, offering sustainable benefits beyond politics and borders. Also, despite Eco Wave Power
being a relatively small company, we have achieved something extraordinary. The company went public on Nasdaq under the stock symbol
WAVE, becoming a leader in wave energy in the global market. Recently, even as many Israeli companies have struggled to survive
or raise funds due to the ongoing war, Eco Wave Power’s stock has surged by 811% YTD. This incredible growth sends a powerful message:
the world believes in Israeli innovation and recognizes the urgent need for technologies like this to address global challenges. So,
to all Israeli Companies and entrepreneurs- never give up, because Israel is the undeniable start up nation, and passion is the greatest
renewable energy source- even stronger than the power of the waves!”
Other
notable speakers in the event were Yaron Klein, CEO of Atarim, Eitan Ben Ami, Director of the Environment and Sustainability Authority
in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality, and Dr. Yael Barash Harman Head of R&D, Office of the Chief Scientist, Ministry of Energy and
Infrastructure.
This
is the first array of wave power generators to be connected to an electricity grid in Israel and in the Middle East. The innovative Eco
Wave Power floaters move up and down with the movement of the waves and create pressure that drives the hydro-motor and generator.
The technology also provides smart automation system that controls the power station’s storm-protection mechanism and stable transmission
of clean electricity to the grid.
In
the coming months Eco Wave Power plans to launch its next three projects: at AltaSea’s premises in the Port of Los Angeles (in
collaboration with Shell MRE); on the East Coast of Taiwan (in collaboration with Lian Tat Company and I-Ke International Ocean Energy
Co.); and its first MW-scale project in Porto, Portugal.
