Inna Braverman, CEO and founder of Eco Wave Power, and Ran Atias, VP of Engineering, met with Terry Tamminen, CEO of AltaSea, to finalize the project timeline and plan the public unveiling. Braverman stated: “Our meeting with Terry Tamminen was extremely productive and energizing. We are now fully aligned on the launch timeline and are excited to welcome partners, press, and policymakers to witness the future of ocean energy in action—right here at the Port of LA.”
The system uses floaters attached to existing marine infrastructure, with land-based units converting wave motion into electricity. The launch event, hosted at AltaSea’s Port of Los Angeles site, will mark the operational debut of this technology in the U.S. Following the meeting, teams from both organizations conducted a site walk-through to coordinate installation and logistics. The first three floaters, built by California-based All-Ways Metal, are undergoing final preparation.
Tamminen remarked: “AltaSea was founded to accelerate ocean-based solutions to climate change, and Eco Wave Power is a perfect example of that vision becoming reality. This project is not just a first for the U.S.—it’s a model for how ports around the world can transform into clean energy hubs. We are proud to be the home of this historic installation.”
Supported by Shell’s Marine Renewable Program, the project features locally manufactured components. Braverman noted: “We’re not just making history—we’re making it locally, with California innovation, U.S.-based production, and world-class collaboration.” The pilot, set to feed electricity to the shore, offers a scalable and cost-effective solution for ports and coastal cities diversifying their renewable energy sources.
In April 2025, Eco Wave Power signed a manufacturing agreement with All-Ways Metal for the floaters, following regulatory approvals, including a license from the Port of Los Angeles and a federal permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in November 2024. Manufacturing began in June, with installation planned for July 2025. This project positions the Port of Los Angeles as a leader in sustainable energy innovation.
