Eni Installs "World's First" Inertial Sea Wave Energy Converter Offshore Pantelleria
is the considerable reduction of its impact on the landscape, since the device stands only 1 meter above sea water. "Moreover, ISWEC can be integrated perfectly with other offshore renewable energy production systems, such as wind power generators, both because it enhances the value of connection systems and because it can be integrated with other facilities in the same sea area, thereby maximising the conversion of available energy," Eni said.The ISWEC technology is part of Eni’s decarbonization plan and was mentioned by the EU Commission in its strategy on offshore renewable energy
