Eco Wave Power Receives Final Engineering Coordination Permit for EWP-EDF One Project Cement Works and Floaters Installation

In a huge administrative achievement, Eco Wave Power is satisfied to report that today it got the designing coordination license from the Municipality of Tel-Aviv Jaffa required for the concrete works and establishment of ten floaters for the EWP-EDF One wave energy project in the Port of Jaffa, Israel.

This license permits Eco Wave Power to continue with the real establishment of the undertaking in the ocean side of the jetty, which will incorporate concrete works for the barrier's support and the establishment of 10 floaters, on 30 direct meters of a previous embankment inside the port, having an introduced limit of 100 KW. Every floater will have a surface zone of 8.54 square meters. All affable works were arranged and will be directed by Alex Gleizer, a structural architect with 25 years of involvement, executing projects for the Israeli Railway Company, the Israeli Air Force, and the Israeli Electric Company.

"I have taken part in multiple energy projects, such as a 495MW traditional power station in 2012 and a pumped storage hydroelectricity project in the Gilboa in Israel in 2017, but Eco Wave Power's wave energy technology is definitely the most unique and innovative project that I have taken part in. I am very excited to take part in this project by supervising the execution of the civil works in a safe and reliable manner," said Alex Gleizer.

"We are delighted to announce this milestone, which is a final engineering coordination permit that enables us to continue with the cement works and floaters' installation portion of our works, and is bringing us one step closer to deploying our second grid-connected wave energy power station. Due to the onshore nature of the Eco Wave Power technology, the cement and floaters installation works will be straightforward and will not involve any ships, divers, underwater cables or underwater moorings, which are known to be extremely expensive and complex. All works will be performed from the land side, using standard equipment such as cranes, thus reinforcing the cost-effectiveness of the Eco Wave Power technology, in comparison to offshore solutions," said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power.

The works, which will be executed by means of a sub-worker for hire, are relied upon to be finished in the forthcoming months.

The EWP-EDF One venture is executed as a team with EDF Renewables IL and co-subsidizing from the Israeli Energy Ministry.
