Jaffa Port Wave Energy Station Generated 1,004 kWh in May 2026

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Israeli wave energy company Eco Wave Power Global AB (Nasdaq: WAVE) has published the production results of its grid-connected EWP-EDF One wave energy station at Jaffa Port for April and May 2026, showing improved electricity generation and peak power output under stronger wave conditions.

In its monthly production report, the company focused its analysis on periods when wave heights exceeded approximately 1 meter, considering such conditions more relevant to the expected performance parameters of its planned commercial-scale projects. In April 2026, Jaffa Port experienced three days of wave heights between approximately 1 and 1.5 meters, during which the station generated approximately 461 kWh, with a peak power output of 26.2 kW. In May 2026, the site saw four days of wave heights between approximately 1 and 2 meters, generating approximately 1,004 kWh—more than double the output under similar wave conditions in April—with a peak power output of 39.1 kW and an average power output of approximately 10.45 kW during the relevant operating periods.

The majority of the electricity generated by the project is delivered directly to the Israeli national grid under a power purchase agreement with the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), with the remainder used for on-site consumption. In February 2026, when wave heights reached approximately 3 meters, the system achieved an average power output of approximately 20 kW and a peak power of approximately 54 kW. The records from these three months show a progressive increase in peak power output with rising wave energy: in April, with waves of approximately 1 to 1.5 meters, peak power was 26.2 kW; in May, with waves of approximately 1 to 2 meters, peak power was 39.1 kW; and in February, with waves of approximately 3 meters, peak power was approximately 54 kW.

Since the beginning of 2025, the Jaffa Port station has recorded zero downtime attributable to the Eco Wave Power system. The company's technology is characterized by the fact that most of the energy conversion equipment is installed on existing coastal infrastructure, with only the floaters interacting directly with the waves. The company believes this approach offers advantages in accessibility, maintenance, and scalability compared to technologies that place most of their equipment offshore.

The EWP-EDF One project is a pilot-scale demonstration array consisting of a limited number of small floaters, with the primary goal of validating continuous operation, system durability, and real-world power generation performance, while accumulating operational data to support future commercial-scale deployments. The company states that future commercial projects are expected to employ significantly larger floaters and a greater number of units to increase energy capture and achieve a more stable production curve. Eco Wave Power is using operational data from Jaffa Port to optimize its technology and is advancing the integration of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and digital twin technologies into its wave energy platform to optimize power generation, improve predictive maintenance, and enable intelligent management for larger commercial installations.

Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of the company, stated that the team specifically analyzes wave conditions above approximately one meter because these conditions are more relevant to the commercial projects the company is advancing around the world; each month's operational data can be fed into AI models, digital twins, and predictive maintenance systems for technology optimization in large commercial installations.

Eco Wave Power is the developer and operator of Israel's first grid-connected wave energy station, which has been recognized by the Israeli Ministry of Energy as a "pioneering technology" and is co-funded by EDF Renewables IL. In the United States, the company is collaborating with Shell Marine Renewable Energy to deploy wave energy technology at the Port of Los Angeles, while also advancing international projects in Portugal, Taiwan, and India. The company has received funding from the European Regional Development Fund, Innovate UK, and the EU Horizon 2020 program, and has won the UN Global Climate Action Award. Its American Depositary Shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol WAVE.
