Port of LA Pilot Project

Following an agreement between AltaSea and Eco Wave Power, EWP delivered an energy conversion unit to the AltaSea campus at the Port of Los Angeles. Eco Wave Power has received the final Nationwide Permit (NWP) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the installation of the 100-kW station in AltaSea’s premises in the Port of Los Angeles. The permit authorizes Eco Wave Power to install eight wave energy floaters on the piles of an existing concrete wharf structure. The system will also include an energy conversion unit, comprised of two 20-foot shipping containers, which will be placed on the wharf deck and connected to the floaters.

With the conversion unit already shipped and located on site, Eco Wave Power plans to complete installation by the end of Q1 2025. Also, with the permit in place, Eco Wave Power and Shell MRE will enter the execution phase of the project, as per the pilot development agreement which was signed by the parties earlier this year.
