Wave Energy Project at Port of Los Angeles Moves Forward with Installation Agreement

Wave energy developer Eco Wave Power has taken a significant step towards the deployment of its first wave energy project in the United States with the signing of an agreement with California-based C&S Welding for the installation of its wave energy technology at the Port of Los Angeles.

This partnership with C&S Welding, a company specializing in welding, fabrication, and marine infrastructure, marks the final stage before the deployment of Eco Wave Power’s innovative wave energy technology.

Headquartered in Wilmington, CA, C&S Welding will be responsible for installing the wave energy floaters and the land-based energy conversion unit at the Port of Los Angeles.

“We’re excited to be part of this historic deployment of wave energy in the U.S.,” said Ian Crichton, President of C&S Welding.

The floaters for the system have been fabricated by All-Ways Metal, a female-owned company based in California. The assembly process is expected to be completed in the coming week.

The project, hosted by AltaSea at the Port of LA and supported by Shell’s Marine Renewable Program (MRE), aims to showcase Eco Wave Power’s patented technology that generates electricity from wave motion in a scalable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly manner.

“This collaboration with C&S Welding represents the final operational piece of our U.S. rollout puzzle,” said Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power.

The installation of Eco Wave Power’s wave energy technology at the Port of Los Angeles signifies a significant milestone in the advancement of clean energy solutions in the U.S., with the potential to pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Founded in 2006 by Steve Crichton and now operated by Ian Crichton, C&S Welding is a family-owned company known for its expertise in serving ports and coastal infrastructure projects across the region.

With the completion of all floaters for its first U.S. wave energy project and the appointment of Hilary E. Ackermann to its Board of Directors, Eco Wave Power is poised to lead the way in bringing wave energy technology to the forefront of the renewable energy industry.

As Eco Wave Power progresses towards the deployment of its wave energy project at the Port of Los Angeles, the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability remains at the core of its mission.
