The floaters, essential components of Eco Wave Power’s onshore wave energy system, will be manufactured locally in California and are scheduled for delivery within 70 days. Once completed, these components will be installed at Municipal Pier One within the Port of Los Angeles, enabling the system to harness wave energy efficiently.
The project has secured all necessary approvals, including a final license from the Port of Los Angeles and a federal permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers. These authorizations ensure the smooth implementation of the pilot wave energy system, marking a step toward sustainable energy solutions.
Developed in collaboration with Shell Marine Renewable Energy, the initiative aims to create a scalable model for wave energy projects, with potential applications in the United States and globally. The project emphasizes innovation and sustainability, contributing to the growth of renewable energy.
Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power, stated: “As we expand into the United States, we are proud to collaborate with All-Ways Metal, a highly respected and experienced woman-owned fabrication business. By producing the floaters locally, we are not only accelerating project timelines but also supporting local job creation and contributing to the emergence of a new sustainable energy industry in the US.”
Rachelle Pickens, CEO of All-Ways Metal, Inc., expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: “We are honoured to partner with Eco Wave Power on this forward-thinking project. For over four decades, we’ve built a reputation for delivering precision, reliability, and innovation – and we are excited to bring that expertise to the clean energy sector. Manufacturing the floaters right here in California aligns with our commitment to supporting local industry while contributing to a greener future.”
This collaboration highlights the potential of wave energy as a renewable resource and underscores the importance of local partnerships in advancing sustainable technologies. The project is expected to pave the way for future initiatives in the renewable energy sector.
