As artificial intelligence drives a surge in electricity demand that is straining power grids across the United States, Europe, and Asia, renewable energy developers are racing to position themselves within the AI infrastructure boom. Eco Wave Power, an Israeli company developing onshore wave energy systems, believes the answer may already exist along the world’s coastlines.
“Right now, I’m seeing everybody looking at very ambitious, futuristic energy concepts, like harnessing energy in space or small nuclear plants that haven’t been built by anybody yet,” co-founder and CEO Inna Braverman told RECCESSARY. “Wave energy can definitely provide energy right here and right now.”
The company, whose technology appeared in Jensen Huang’s 2026 GTC keynote through an AI-driven digital twin demonstration, is now advancing its first Asia-Pacific project in Taiwan while targeting data centers and semiconductor manufacturers facing growing electricity shortages.
Unlock the full article to explore three key takeaways:
Eco Wave Power’s onshore approach keeps all power conversion equipment on land while attaching floaters to existing coastal infrastructure, avoiding the extreme offshore conditions and high maintenance costs that contributed to the failure of earlier wave energy projects.
The company is positioning wave energy as a power source for coastal AI infrastructure, with ongoing discussions involving data center developers and chipmakers, alongside plans to demonstrate direct power supply to a data center at its Jaffa Port installation.
Taiwan became Eco Wave Power’s first Asia-Pacific market due to its strong Pacific wave resources, support for renewable energy, and central role in the global semiconductor supply chain.
