Eco Wave Power has received the final Nationwide Permit (NWP) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its wave energy pilot project at the Port of Los Angeles, marking a step toward the first U.S. onshore wave energy installation. According to Eco Wave Power, the permit, granted under NWP 52 for Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Pilot Projects, allows the company to install eight wave energy floaters on the existing concrete wharf structure on the east side of Municipal Pier One. The system will also include an energy conversion unit, housed in two 20-foot (around six meters) shipping containers, which is already on-site and set for installation by the end of Q1 2025. This project is part of Eco Wave Power’s collaboration with Shell International Exploration and Production. The agreement, unveiled in April, aims to bring wave energy technology to the Port of Los Angeles. With the final permit in hand, the companies will now transition into the project’s execution phase, the company noted. |
