Insights
Eco Wave Power reaches operational milestone with first water deployment of wave energy technology, signaling progress toward commercialization.
The successful deployment of Eco Wave Power's floaters at the Port of Los Angeles represents a significant technical milestone in the commercialization pathway for this emerging renewable energy technology. After completing the full installation of wave energy floaters, hydraulic pipes, supporting infrastructure, and the onshore energy conversion unit, the company has transitioned from construction to operation phase.
What makes Eco Wave Power's approach noteworthy is their strategy of utilizing existing marine infrastructure rather than building costly offshore installations. Their onshore technology reduces many of the challenges that have historically hindered wave energy development, including saltwater corrosion, extreme storm vulnerability, and underwater maintenance complexities.
The pilot installation serves multiple crucial technical functions beyond power generation: it validates the technology in U.S. marine conditions (which differ from their previous Mediterranean and Atlantic deployments), establishes regulatory precedents through collaboration with authorities like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and creates a demonstration platform for potential customers and partners.
While this milestone marks technical progress, the path to commercial viability for wave energy remains challenging. The technology must now demonstrate consistent power generation, reliability in varying sea conditions, and competitive levelized cost of energy metrics compared to established renewables like solar and wind. The demonstration unit will need to maintain operational stability and achieve performance targets before securing the investor confidence needed for utility-scale deployments.
Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2025) - Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (NASDAQ: WAVE), a leading onshore wave energy technology company, is proud to announce that its U.S. pilot project at the Port of Los Angeles has successfully completed operational testing and achieved a historic milestone: the lowering of its innovative floaters into the water for the very first time. This major moment was broadcast live and exclusively by Good Morning America, marking unprecedented national visibility for the advancement of wave energy technology.
The milestone follows the finalization of all installation works at the project site, including:
Full installation of all wave energy floaters
Connection of hydraulic pipes and supporting infrastructure
Placement of the onshore energy conversion unit
With installation completed, Eco Wave Power has now officially entered the operational phase of its U.S. journey. 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 commercialization 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 U.S. marine conditions
Support environmental monitoring and regulatory processes in collaboration with local stakeholders and authorities, including the U.S. 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 U.S.
Eco Wave Power partnered with California-based companies to bring this project to life:
All-Ways Metal, a woman-owned fabrication company, produced the innovative floaters
C&S Welding Inc., a family-owned Wilmington contractor with nearly two decades of experience in port and marine infrastructure, performed the installation

About the Port of Los Angeles Project
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 pressurized fluid to a land-based energy conversion unit that generates electricity.
Key advantages include:
No footprint on the seabed, minimizing environmental impact
Modular, low-maintenance design optimized for ports and coastal environments
This high-visibility pilot forms a key part of Eco Wave Power's U.S. commercialization 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.
