As reported by REM in July, the installation of floaters was successfully completed at the Port of Los Angeles, being a demonstration project aiming to validate the technology in real-world conditions. Following the finalisation of all the installation work at the site, Eco Wave Power has now officially entered the operational phase of its US journey, with the testing also having been broadcast live and exclusively by Good Morning America, marking unprecedented national visibility for the advancement of wave energy technology.
The company will host a formal unveiling ceremony on September 9, 2025, at AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles.
“Seeing our floaters lowered into the water for the first time — and having it shared live on Good Morning America - is a moment of great pride, not only for Eco Wave Power but for the future of clean energy innovation” said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power. “This pilot station is a vital step in demonstrating how wave energy can be harnessed using existing marine infrastructure, while laying the groundwork for full-scale commercialisation in the United States.”
The Los Angeles project is designed as a demonstration station, with the following objectives:
Showcase Eco Wave Power's patented onshore technology in US marine conditions
Support environmental monitoring and regulatory processes in collaboration with local stakeholders and authorities, including the US Army Corps of Engineers
Serve as an educational hub for industry partners, regulators, and potential customers
Establish a foundation for future grid-connected commercial wave energy projects in the US
Eco Wave Power partnered with California-based companies to bring this project to life, including All-Ways Metal - which produced the innovative floaters - and C&S Welding Inc, which performed the installation.
Eco Wave Power's patented onshore wave energy system attaches floaters to existing marine structures. The up-and-down motion of the waves drives hydraulic cylinders, which send pressurised fluid to a land-based energy conversion unit that generates electricity.
The key advantages of this technology are that there is no footprint on the seabed, which minimises environmental impact, and that it features a modular, low-maintenance design optimised for prots and coastal environments.
The high-visibility pilot forms a key part of Eco Wave Power's US commercialisation strategy and strengthens the company's 404.7 MW global project pipeline, which also includes upcoming operational sites in Taiwan, India, and Portugal, alongside its grid-connected station in Israel.
