STOCKHOLM, May 31, 2022
Leverages its Pioneering Technology to Advance Projects in Israel, Los Angeles, Portugal and Spain
STOCKHOLM, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (Nasdaq: WAVE) (Nasdaq First North: ECOWVE) ("Eco Wave Power" or the "Company"), a leading, publicly traded onshore wave energy technology company that developed a patented, smart and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity, today announced its financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
"With our technology proven through real conditions deployments in Gibraltar and Israel, we are now aiming to progress towards larger scale projects in Portugal and Spain and new and ongoing projects in Jaffa Port, Israel and the Port of Los Angeles in the United States" commented Inna Braverman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eco Wave Power. "The innovative nature of our technology has enabled us to build robust relationships with visionaries, politicians, and innovators around the world, which we believe has coalesced into meaningful near-term opportunities in Europe and the United States that we are now advancing. The projects in our pipeline in these and other regions will serve as the foundation for the next phase in our development, scaling our deployments to create a clean, renewable, megawatt-scale power source."
Ms. Braverman continued, "In the next few months, we will connect our EWP-EDF One Project to Israel's power grid, establishing the first wave-powered facility in Israel's history. Also, our planned projects in Europe are planned to represent our largest and most significant deployments to date, and we are excited about our opportunities with the Port of Leixões (APDL) in Porto, Portugal and Port Adriano, in Mallorca, Spain. Simultaneously, we have made important steps to enter new markets, particularly in the United States through our collaboration with AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles ("AltaSea") and our work with lawmakers and leaders in Los Angeles and New Jersey. We continue to expect 2022 to be a very significant year in our development plan, and we are increasingly confident that we are well-positioned to achieve our ambitious goals."
"Our progress comes as governments around the world, especially in the United States and Europe, are looking for additional renewable energy sources and looking to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, especially those from Russia," added Ms. Braverman. "Russia currently supplies 40% of the European Union's (EU) natural gas and 27% of its imported oil. The war and its associated sanctions have resulted in significant increases in EU electricity prices, and the EU has announced its plan to invest up to €300 billion ($316 billion) by 2030 to make the EU independent of Russian energy imports. The Biden Administration has also proposed aggressive clean energy targets and individual states are following suit. I believe that wave energy represents an important, base-load source to make these efforts a reality."
