Eco Wave Power Global AB, a leader in onshore wave energy technology, has partnered with MOQ Engineering to finalise the design and load calculations for its pioneering wave energy project in Porto, Portugal, with a targeted launch in 2026.
This project is part of a 20 MW Concession Agreement with Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A. (APDL) and will feature Eco Wave Power’s proprietary technology, including an underwater wave energy museum and education centre called “The Gallery.”
“This collaboration with MOQ Engineering represents significant progress in the development of our Portuguese project. Their expertise in engineering and design ensures that we are meeting the highest safety and operational standards. With their work on track for completion this February, we are steadily moving closer to the production phase and the realisation of our goal to make wave energy an integral part of Portugal’s renewable energy mix,” Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power, commented.
Aligned with Portugal’s goal of generating 85% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, the project aims to significantly reduce the port’s carbon footprint, create jobs, and further the country’s renewable energy initiatives. Upon completion of the design work, Eco Wave Power will submit a comprehensive project plan to APDL, paving the way for the production of floaters and structural components.
In addition, Eco Wave Power is advancing global projects, including initiatives in Taiwan and the Port of Los Angeles. Eco Wave Power has developed innovative technology that converts ocean waves into sustainable electricity, and it operates the first grid-connected wave energy system in Israel, recognised as a “Pioneering Technology.”
MOQ Engineering is a trusted Portuguese firm known for its structural and civil engineering solutions.
“We are honoured to partner with Eco Wave Power on this innovative wave energy project. At MOQ, we pride ourselves on delivering engineering solutions that align with the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and sustainability. This project reflects our commitment to leveraging advanced technologies like building information modelling (BIM) and parametric design to optimise results while contributing to Portugal’s ambitious renewable energy goals. We are excited to play a part in showcasing the potential of wave energy as a reliable, sustainable power source and to help pave the way for global adoption of this groundbreaking technology,” noted Manuel Cardoso, Partner of MOQ Engineering.
