Rhea-AI Summary
Eco Wave Power (NASDAQ: WAVE) reported February 2026 production at its EWP-EDF One pilot in Jaffa Port, Israel. The system operated about nine days under 1–2 m waves and generated ~2,000 kWh.
During a 3-meter wave event the pilot reached an average production of ~20 kWh and a peak of 56.7 kW, the highest site outputs to date, with zero downtime since early 2025.
Positive
- Peak output of 56.7 kW recorded during 3-meter waves
- Zero downtime at Jaffa Port since the beginning of 2025
- ~2,000 kWh generated during ~9 operational days in February 2026
Negative
- Pilot-scale installation uses a limited number of small floaters, constraining near-term capacity
- Low absolute energy from pilot: ~2,000 kWh over February operational days

Operational and pipeline updates have generally seen modestly positive reactions, with occasional divergences on project milestones.
Since mid-January 2026, Eco Wave Power has reported steady progress across its Jaffa Port pilot and global pipeline. The company advanced a 1 MW project in Porto under a 20 MW concession, signed a 36‑month LOI for up to 100% equipment financing, and shared strong January production of more than 2,300 kWh with zero downtime. Subsequent feasibility work in South Africa and a favorable U.S. DOE report reinforced its 404.7 MW pipeline. Today’s February production record continues that operational validation theme.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement detailed February 2026 results from Eco Wave Power’s Jaffa Port pilot, including about 2,000 kWh generated over roughly 9 days and record performance during 3‑meter waves with peak output of 56.7 kW. The system has maintained zero downtime since early 2025 in waves of 1 meter and above. Investors may track ongoing production data, the transition from pilot‑scale floaters to larger commercial units, and progress across the company’s broader project pipeline.

Tel Aviv, Israel--(Newsfile Corp. - March 4, 2026) - Eco Wave Power Global AB (NASDAQ: WAVE) ("Eco Wave Power" or the "Company"), a global leader in onshore wave energy technology, today announced its wave energy production results for February 2026 at its EWP-EDF One pilot project located at Jaffa Port, Israel.

During February 2026, the system operated for approximately nine days under moderate wave conditions, with average daily wave heights ranging between 1 and 2 meters. During these operational days, the project generated approximately 2,000 kWh of clean, renewable electricity.
In addition to steady performance under moderate sea states, February marked a significant operational milestone for the Company. Eco Wave Power experienced its highest wave conditions recorded to date at the Jaffa Port site, with waves reaching approximately 3 meters in height.
During these higher wave conditions, the system achieved:
An average power production of approximately 20 kWh and
A peak production of 56.7 kW, representing the highest average and peak production levels recorded at the site to date.
These results demonstrate the system's ability to both withstand and operate efficiently during elevated sea states, while capturing higher energy output when wave intensity increases.
Since the beginning of 2025, the EWP-EDF One system at Jaffa Port has maintained zero downtime, with stable operation recorded in wave conditions of 1 meter and above. The February performance further validates the resilience, safety mechanisms, and production scalability of Eco Wave Power's proprietary onshore wave energy technology.
The EWP-EDF One installation at Jaffa Port is a pilot-scale demonstration array, consisting of a limited number of small-scale floaters, designed primarily to validate system durability, grid integration, and real-world production performance under varying marine conditions. The record outputs achieved during 3-meter wave events provide valuable data for the engineering and optimization of future commercial-scale projects.
Future commercial deployments are expected to utilize significantly larger floaters and a substantially greater number of units, which are anticipated to materially enhance energy capture and increase overall capacity factors compared to pilot-scale installations.
"February was an important month for us operationally," said Inna Braverman, CEO and Founder of Eco Wave Power. "Not only did we continue stable production during moderate wave conditions, but we also experienced the highest waves recorded at our site to date. Achieving record average and peak power production during 3-meter wave events provides meaningful validation of our technology's performance potential as we scale toward commercial projects."
Eco Wave Power continues to systematically collect and analyze real-world operational data at Jaffa Port to optimize system performance and support its global project pipeline.
