Israeli developer Eco Wave Power has completed construction of a 100kW device in Gibraltar with testing now underway.
The first phase of a commercial-scale project, the 100kW system on Gibraltar’s Ammunition Jetty will be expanded to a size of 5MW to provide up to 15% of the rock’s power needs.
The scheme is funded via a European Union grant under the 2014-2020 European Regional Development Fund.
EWP has a 111MW global pipeline, with operational projects in Israel and plans to develop sites in China.
The director of EWP investor Pirveli Ventures David Oren said: “The future is very promising for Eco Wave Power who will complete a 5MW power station in Gibraltar and continue to the execution of its 111 MW pipeline.”
