Wave energy technology company Eco Wave Power has announced it has been granted Revocable Permit 25-05 by the Port of Los Angeles for the construction and demonstration of its innovative wave energy technology at Berth 70 in San Pedro, California. The permit was approved and executed on behalf of the Executive Director, Eugene D. Seroka on March 27, 2025. It is the final approval required for the company to commence construction of its pilot project following its receipt of a federal Nationwide Permit (NWP) 52 for Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Pilot Projects, granted by the US Army Corps of Engineers in November 2024. With all the necessary permits secured, Eco Wave Power is now set to move forward with implementation, expected to be completed within the next 2-3 months. The pilot project, co-funded by Shell Marine Renewable Energy (‘Shell MRE’), marks a significant milestone in advancing clean energy solutions by utilizing wave power to generate electricity. Under the permit, Eco Wave Power is authorized to utilize approximately 10,396 square feet of land and 2,016 square feet of water area for the installation and operation of its cutting-edge wave energy conversion system.
