Eco Wave Power and C&S Welding have joined forces to install the first wave energy pilot project in wave power pilot project pilot project in the United States. This collaboration integrates technology capable of converting wave motion into clean electricity using floats attached to existing marine structures and connected to a land-based conversion unit.
The system has been designed to ensure operational efficiency, low maintenance and minimal environmental impact, ideal characteristics for port infrastructures.
Wave energy gains momentum in the U.S.
C&S Welding, a California-based company with almost two decades of experience in marine welding and fabrication welding and marine fabricationwill assume the assembly and erection of the floats. These components were manufactured by All-Ways Metal, a local woman-owned company, highlighting the commitment to regional suppliers.
The project is also supported by AltaSea and Shell’s Marine Renewable Energy Program, which reinforces its relevance in the sustainable energy sector. The initiative is on schedule and the installation is expected to be completed in the next few days.
With this project, the Port of Los Angeles is positioned as a key location for the implementation of marine renewable energy in the United States, opening the way to new opportunities for the development of sustainable electricity generation on the California coast.
