Eco Wave Power Welcomes New Israeli Government Blue-Tech Energy Initiative to Advance Marine Renewable Energy Innovation
Rhea-AI Summary
Eco Wave Power (NASDAQ: WAVE) welcomed a new joint initiative by Israel's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Israel Innovation Authority to invest NIS 6 million (about $2 million) in next-generation Blue-Tech marine energy technologies, including wave energy and AI-based marine energy management.
Eco Wave Power operates Israel's first and, to date, only grid-connected wave energy power station at Jaffa Port, exporting electricity under a Power Purchase Agreement and recognized as a “Pioneering Technology” by the Ministry of Energy’s Chief Scientist. The company reports zero downtime at the Jaffa station since early 2025 and continued integration of artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies. Eco Wave Power also highlighted its inclusion in California’s Final SB 605 Consultant Report, which referenced its Port of Los Angeles pilot as part of the state’s marine renewable energy assessment.
