The power plant can produce 60kWh of power and is an initial stage of a total construction plan of 50MW on the breakwater of Jaffa Port.
Jaffa’s breakwater is 1000mt long and SDE claims that the construction of its sea wave power plant will provide cost-efficient renewable energy source to the port, as well as prevent the erosion of the breakwater that is usually caused by high waves.
The plant is a full automatic model and 10% of the whole system is in the waters, which will minimize the risk to the system in cases of storms and other natural disasters, the company said.
