Breakwater Repairs Clear Path for Porto Installation

APDL is handling repairs after storm damage hit the breakwater earlier this year. The port authority oversees maintenance and reinforcement of coastal infrastructure in the region. Eco Wave Power says the works directly affect the site chosen for its technology.

Eco Wave Power’s 1 MW installation depends on completion of this rehabilitation phase. Once finished, the company can access the site and begin equipment installation. The project marks a shift from pilot-scale testing toward commercial-scale deployment.

CEO Inna Braverman will travel to Porto in mid-August for talks with APDL. She plans to discuss the completion timeline for the breakwater rehabilitation works. The meeting will also cover Eco Wave Power’s site access and installation schedule.

Grid Extension and Local Contractors Support Execution

APDL agreed to issue a formal letter supporting Eco Wave Power’s grid-connection request. The company seeks an extension aligned with the breakwater repair timeline. Portuguese authorities will review the request before granting any formal approval.

Braverman will also meet Portuguese subcontractors during her August visit to Porto. Discussions will span civil engineering, steel fabrication, and hydraulic system design. Electrical works and grid connection also feature among the planned meeting topics.

Eco Wave Power aims to build a strong local execution team for Portugal. The company combines proprietary technology with regional engineering and construction expertise. Portugal remains a key European market under the company’s broader expansion strategy.

Wave Energy Technology and Broader Strategy

Eco Wave Power designs its technology for installation on existing man-made coastal structures. Engineers mount the system on breakwaters, jetties, and piers instead of open seabeds. This approach simplifies both installation work and long-term maintenance needs.

The method also avoids costly offshore deployment that many wave energy rivals require. The company views this design choice as a core competitive advantage. It also supports faster rollout across new international markets and regions.

The Porto project will give Eco Wave Power valuable megawatt-scale operating experience. That experience should support future projects planned across Portugal and beyond. The APDL agreement allows for up to 20 MW of total capacity.

This 1 MW installation represents only the first phase of that plan. Eco Wave Power expects further updates once the August meetings conclude. Market participants will track developments from Porto throughout the coming weeks.
