US EditionIn LA Port, Bobbing Blue Floats Are Turning Wave Power Into Clean Energy
The pilot aims to validate onshore wave energy's potential to power 60,000 homes using wave motor floats, supported by a two-year license and partial funding from Shell.
- Eco Wave Power will unveil its first U.S. onshore wave energy pilot at the Port of Los Angeles on September 9, 2025.
- This pilot follows California's 2023 bill promoting wave energy and a two-year licensing process with the Army Corps and port authorities.
- The pilot uses floats on existing breakwater structures to generate clean electricity locally without altering coastlines or requiring land acquisition.
- CEO Inna Braverman said this technology could "be a game changer" for local energy, and expansion along 8 miles of breakwater could power 60,000 homes.
- Experts highlight wave energy's ability to produce power when wind and solar cannot, marking an important milestone for scalable marine renewable energy.
