According to the terms of the agreement, The Ocean University will secure full funding for EWP's first commercial scale project, and conduct the related R&D works, with its state of the art facilities.
This is a great Opportunity for EWP and OUC, as both organizations are known to be leaders in their field of expertise.
The Ocean University of China is under the direct administration of the State Ministry of Education and was defined by the Central Government as one of the 13 national key comprehensive universities in China . During the 10 "Five Year Plan", OUC was ranked first among the marine-related institutions in terms of number of projects undertaken including the national project 973 and 863 with funds granted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China . Moreover, OUC has been awarded a prize in natural science, two prizes for science progress, and 54 prizes at provincial and ministerial levels.
Eco Wave Power is the first and only wave energy company to ever win the Frost & Sullivan Product Award for developing and implementing an all-round solution for reliable and cost-efficient energy harvesting from waves. During the year of 2012, EWP presented significant progress by constructing its small scale power plant (checked and approved by the Hydro Mechanic Institute in
Kiev ), As well as a Medium-Scale Power plant which is implemented in the Black Sea, producing 10KW.
EWP has advanced technical capabilities, and a strong financial backing, which will enable the company to become a dominant player in the ocean energy market.
said David Leb , the founder of Eco Wave Power .
Ms. Merav Tapiero , the Program Manager of the Israel-China Industrial R&D Cooperation Framework at MATIMOP, elaborated that:
The EWP technology is especially suitable for implementation in China as it has 18,000 km of coastline, and at least 6000 islands. In addition, according to the CEC ( China's Electricity Council) the country will face power supply shortages this year due to a shortage of coal. The CEC estimates that the power shortages will reach 40 million kilowatts in 2012, compared with only 30 million kilowatts shortage in 2011.
Eco Wave Power's ocean energy power plants will be a perfect and cost-efficient solution to China's energy difficulties.
