Exhibit 99.1
Eco Wave Power Highlighted in U.S. Departmentof Energy National Laboratory Report Emphasizing the Strong Economic and Deployment Advantages of Coastal Structure-Integrated Wave Energy
Los Angeles, California – (February 19,2026) – Eco Wave Power Global AB (NASDAQ: WAVE) (“Eco Wave Power” or the “Company”), a leading developer of onshore wave energy technology, today announced its inclusion in a major U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) national laboratory report emphasizing the high-value potential of Coastal Structure Integrated Wave Energy Converters (“CSI-WECs”) across U.S. coastlines.
The report, authored by the National Laboratory of the Rockies for the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Water Power Technologies Office (produced while operating as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)), evaluates the technical, economic, and geographic opportunity for structure-integrated wave energy systems in the United States.
The national laboratory analysis identifies structure-integrated wave energy as a comparatively lower-risk and higher-value deployment pathway within the broader marine energy sector.
Unlike offshore wave projects that require standalone marine infrastructure, CSI-WEC systems are embedded directly into existing or planned coastal defense structures such as breakwaters, jetties, and harbor walls. This integration model:
| ● | Reduces capital intensity by leveraging pre-existing infrastructure |
|---|---|
| ● | Minimizes subsea cabling and offshore installation complexity |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Lowers operations and maintenance costs through onshore accessibility |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Preserves the primary coastal protection function even if power generation is temporarily offline |
| --- | --- |
The report concludes that this dual-use infrastructure model offers a more practical and financially attractive route to commercial marine energy deployment.
According to the study:
| ● | U.S. coastlines contain an estimated 2,640 terawatt-hours per year of theoretical wave energy potential |
|---|---|
| ● | Approximately 14% of U.S. coastline is already hardened with coastal defense structures |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Nearly 40% of the U.S. population lives in coastal counties, many facing increasing erosion and<br>flooding risks |
| --- | --- |
As climate change accelerates coastal hazards, investment in sea walls, breakwaters, and harbor reinforcements is expected to rise. The report emphasizes that integrating wave energy converters into such infrastructure can meaningfully enhance lifetime asset value by transforming passive defense structures into revenue-generating clean energy assets.
The national laboratory’s techno-economic analysis and GIS-based siting tool indicate that CSI-WEC deployments may achieve:
| ● | Capital payback periods estimated at approximately five to six years |
|---|---|
| ● | Potential for millions of dollars in energy value over a 20-year project life |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Scalability from microgrid applications to grid-level generation depending on available linear infrastructure |
| --- | --- |
The research team highlights CSI-WEC systems as a high-value marine energy application that has historically been underexplored in the United States despite favorable economics and infrastructure synergies.
Eco Wave Power was one of only three wave energy developers selected to perform preliminary energy production analyses for four high-potential U.S. locations:
| ● | Puerto Rico |
|---|---|
| ● | Hawaii |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The Pribilof Islands |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Humboldt Bay, California |
| --- | --- |
Initial results demonstrated meaningful near-term deployment potential, with projected annual generation ranging from tens to hundreds of megawatt-hours per device under normalized 10-meter deployments, and the ability to scale output with extended infrastructure length.
The report’s conclusions align with Eco Wave Power’s demonstrated operational experience integrating wave energy systems into existing coastal structures, including:
| ● | A grid-connected project developed in partnership with EDF at Jaffa Port, Israel (EWP-EDF One Project),<br>delivering electricity to the national grid |
|---|---|
| ● | The Company’s first U.S. demonstration project at the Port of Los Angeles, marking a significant<br>milestone in introducing onshore wave energy technology to the American market |
| --- | --- |
These deployments validate the structure-integration model highlighted in the national laboratory study.
