Insights
WAVE's first US wave energy project reaches final pre-deployment phase with contractor selection, demonstrating execution capability in strategic US expansion.
Eco Wave Power has reached a critical milestone in its US market entry by securing C&S Welding Inc. as the installation contractor for its Port of Los Angeles wave energy project. This agreement represents the final operational component needed before physical deployment begins on what will be the company's first onshore wave energy installation in the United States.
The project's execution is showing strong progress indicators:
- Floater fabrication is already complete (by California-based All-Ways Metal)
- Final floater assembly is expected within a week
- Installation partner (C&S Welding) now secured
- Project has secured both hosting (AltaSea at Port of LA) and co-investment (Shell's Marine Renewable Program)
From a technological implementation perspective, this milestone demonstrates Eco Wave Power's ability to execute its deployment strategy through the critical phases of manufacturing, assembly, and now installation. The selection of C&S Welding appears strategically sound given their nearly two decades of experience with marine infrastructure projects, relevant certifications (ASME, API 1104, ABS), and perfect safety record.
The project's significance extends beyond this single installation – it serves as a proof-of-concept deployment for Eco Wave Power's technology in the American market. Success here would strengthen the company's position in the emerging US wave energy sector and potentially accelerate additional deployments along American coastlines.
The partnership with Shell's Marine Renewable Program adds particular credibility, as major energy companies increasingly seek proven renewable technologies to diversify their portfolios. This external validation from an energy industry leader suggests the technology has progressed beyond purely experimental stages.
Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2025) - Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (NASDAQ: WAVE), a leader in onshore wave energy technology, is proud to announce that it has signed an agreement with C&S Welding Inc., a premier California-based industrial and maritime contractor, for the installation of its wave energy floaters and the company's energy conversion unit at the Port of Los Angeles.
This milestone agreement marks the final step before deployment begins for Eco Wave Power's first-ever onshore wave energy project in the United States.
