Eco Wave Power, a company for Onshore Wave Energy Technology, announced the introduction of critical infrastructure improvements in his pioneering wave energy project in Portugal, where the company implemented its first 1MW project.
The postage project, the first wave energy of Eco Wave Power, in Portugal, which is expected to be completed in 2026, aims to use marine wave energy in order to create sustainable electricity. The focus of this initiative is the conversion of the “gallery”, an existing wave broken tunnel, into a facility in which the company's wave energy are able to convert the company. After completion, the gallery will also offer an underwater wave energy museum and educational center, which offers visitors an immersive view of the world of renewable energies.
To prepare the gallery for the installation of devices and public commitment, Eco Wave Power conducts the following important activities:
- Sand and debris removal: Delete materials accumulated to ensure a clean and safe environment for devices and visitors.
- Structural reinforcement: Replacing doors and windows to improve the integrity and safety of the facility.
- Water sealing measures: Sealing points of the penetration of water to maintain optimal operating conditions.
After completing the infrastructure improvements, Eco Wave Power will advance to the next phase of the project, which includes the production and use of its proprietary wave energy technology. The project aims to support the strategy for renewable energies in the Portugal, which will aim to generate renewable electricity generation by 2030 and at the same time serve as a model for global expansion.
In order to support the execution of the Portugal project, Eco Wave Power recently appointed Juan José Gómez as a power plant manager. With experience in the business with renewable energies, Gómez will monitor the daily implementation and ensure the organization of the technical and operational goals of the project. At the same time, Eco Wave Power Moq Engineering, a Portuguese engineering office, has included in order to carry out the final design and load calculations for the project. MOQ offers experience in structural and civil engineering solutions and uses technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) and parametric design.
“This milestone underlines our commitment to providing a robust and scalable wave energy solution in Portugal,” said Inna Braverman, CEO of ECO Wave Power. “By combating critical infrastructure requirements and cooperation with high-ranking engineering experts like MOQ, we look forward to a smooth installation process and create the basis for successful energy generation from ocean case.”
Eco Wave Power grows globally and is preparing to install projects in the port of Los Angeles, Taiwan and Portugal, with the project pipeline increasing a total of over 404.7 MW.
Last month, Eco Wave Power announced that during the Indian Energy Week 2025 she signed a memorandum of Understanding (Mou) with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). The company said that the agreement was a “difficult step” in the introduction of wave energy as a key component of the Indian strategy for renewable energy. With the recognition of Ocean Energy as a promising renewable resource of Ocean Energy in the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energies (Eco Wave Power), the cooperation coincides with an estimated 40,000 MW unused potential along the country's coast.
BPCL, a State Fortune 500 oil and gas giant with a market capitalization of around $ 12 billion, identified ECO WAVE Power after evaluating wave energy technologies as a strategic partner.
