Eco Wave Power has secured the final permit for its wave energy project at the Port of Los Angeles, marking a significant step in the development of renewable energy solutions. The project involves installing wave energy floaters on an existing concrete wharf structure at Municipal Pier One, with an energy conversion unit placed on the wharf deck and connected to the floaters. Installation is expected to be completed within the next few months.
This initiative, co-funded by Shell Marine Renewable Energy, aims to harness wave power to generate electricity, contributing to the advancement of clean energy solutions. The project is developed in partnership with AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles and is expected to serve as a model for future large-scale wave energy installations across the United States and beyond.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that wave energy has the potential to generate over 1,400 terawatt-hours per year—enough to power approximately 130 million homes. This pilot project is a crucial step toward the commercialization of wave energy as a reliable and clean source of renewable power, further strengthening Eco Wave Power’s position in the industry.
Eco Wave Power remains dedicated to driving forward the global transition to clean energy by pioneering wave power technology. This pilot project is expected to serve as a model for future large-scale wave energy installations across the United States and beyond.
