Overview
- Eco Wave Power said it delivered a final completion report to Shell, closing all objectives and milestones for the AltaSea pilot at the Port of Los Angeles.
- The partnership moved from a U.S. coastline study that flagged 77 promising sites to permitting, design, installation, and real-world operation at the port.
- The company says the project obtained required permits and approvals, and environmental reviews under NEPA and CEQA found no significant impact.
- The onshore setup attached to existing structures avoided seabed anchoring, offshore construction, and subsea cabling, and the firm reports total pilot cost stayed under $1 million.
- The AltaSea unit will keep running as a demonstration site for policymakers and potential partners, serving as a reference for future commercial projects at ports and breakwaters.
