The Port of Los Angeles
Los Angeles
The Port of Los Angeles Wave Energy Station is Eco Wave Power’s first U.S.-based project and marks the first onshore wave energy installation in the United States. Developed in collaboration with AltaSea and Shell MRE, the project showcases Eco Wave Power’s innovative technology, which uses floaters installed on existing marine structures to harvest green electricity from ocean and sea waves. As the floaters rise and fall with wave motion, they release a biodegradable fluid, which presses hydraulic pistons that drive a land-based generator to produce clean electricity. Set to become officially operational in September 2025, the station demonstrates how wave energy can be integrated into existing port infrastructure to diversify renewable energy sources, reduce carbon emissions, and support coastal resilience. This project aims to address the need for sustainable, locally generated power in urban coastal environments, while proving the viability of wave energy in the U.S. market.
Eco Wave Power’s Los Angeles project focuses on R&D and environmental assessment in collaboration with the Port of LA, AltaSea, Shell MRE, and PNNL, serving as a regulatory pathway for wave energy in the U.S. It supports the creation of a new local industry, driving job creation, coastal innovation, and renewable infrastructure development. The project contributes to emissions reductions, energy diversification, and long-term economic and environmental resilience.
Comprised of floaters submerged in the ocean/sea attached to structures such as piers and jetties, Eco Wave Power uses specially designed floaters use buoyancy force, changes in water level and flow, the ‘airlock’ effect, and the vertical movement of waves, to create an efficient energy conversion process. This system serves communities that have less heavy energy requirements and do not have the means for a cumbersome system that could be found further offshore. As such, the capital expenditure requirements are vastly reduced – about 1 million USD per Megawatt installed.
