Sweden’s Eco Wave Power has completed the installation of floats in the Port of Los Angeles, moving toward the commissioning of its first U .S. wave power system. first wave power system in the United States.. Official inauguration is scheduled for September 9, 2025.
Technical deployment of wave power system in Los Angeles
The project is part of a demonstration strategy that seeks to validate in real conditions the patented wave-to-electricity technology. conversion of waves into electrical energy. By utilizing existing coastal infrastructure, Eco Wave Power aims at a scalable, low environmental impact solution for clean electricity generation from the movement of waves. wave motion.
The floats, manufactured by California-based All-Ways Metal and installed by local company C&S Welding Inc. represent a crucial step in the consolidation of this technology in the U.S. market. This system is supported by existing port structures, allowing for cost-effective integration with minimal maintenance requirements.
Institutional collaboration and commercial vision of the system
Organized by AltaSea and supported by Shell’s marine renewable energy program, the pilot includes environmental assessments and material strength testing. It also provides Eco Wave Power with direct experience with local and federal regulatory frameworks, including collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Inna Braverman, founder and CEO of the company, highlighted that the project marks a firm step towards the commercialization of wave energy in the region.
It demonstrates that it is possible to transform the coast into a reliable source of energy without major structural modifications or negative impacts on the ecosystem.
He stated.
