Eco Wave Power Global AB, a company specializing in onshore wave energy technology, has engaged Portuguese engineering firm MOQ Engineering to complete the final design and load calculations for its wave energy project in Porto, Portugal. The project aims to launch in 2026 and is part of a 20MW Concession Agreement with Administração dos Portos do Douro, Leixões e Viana do Castelo, S.A. (APDL).
The Porto project will incorporate Eco Wave Power’s wave energy technology and will include an underwater wave energy museum and education center housed in “The Gallery,” a space beneath the breakwater where energy conversion equipment will be installed. The initiative aligns with Portugal’s goal to source 85% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030.
Once MOQ completes its work, Eco Wave Power will submit the finalized execution project to APDL for approval. This step will enable the transition to producing floaters and structural components for the system.
The project is designed to demonstrate large-scale wave energy production and is expected to reduce the port’s carbon footprint, create jobs, and advance Portugal’s renewable energy sector.
Eco Wave Power is also working on projects in Taiwan, the Port of Los Angeles, and other locations globally. These initiatives aim to expand the company’s presence in the renewable energy market.
“This collaboration with MOQ Engineering represents significant progress in the development of our Portuguese project,” said Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power. “Their expertise in engineering and design ensures we are meeting the highest safety and operational standards. With their work on track for completion this February, we are moving closer to realizing our goal to make wave energy an integral part of Portugal’s renewable energy mix.”
Manuel Cardoso, Partner at MOQ Engineering, added: “We are honored 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 showcases the potential of wave energy as a reliable, sustainable power source and helps pave the way for its global adoption.”
