Overview
- The core Energy Conversion Unit installed onshore uses hydraulic cylinders to convert wave motion into electricity and launches the pilot’s pre-operation testing phase.
- The Port of Los Angeles demonstration will support environmental monitoring, regulatory reviews and stakeholder education while laying groundwork for larger grid-connected projects.
- Eco Wave Power’s modular onshore system avoids seabed drilling and minimizes marine disturbance, aligning with strict environmental criteria.
- A final license from the Port of Los Angeles and a federal permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cleared the way for the pilot’s installation progress.
- Local contractor C&S Welding led the installation with floaters fabricated by All-Ways Metal and AltaSea will host a public unveiling on September 9.
