Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2025) - Eco Wave Power Global AB (publ) (NASDAQ: WAVE), a leading onshore wave energy company, today announced the installation of its energy conversion unit at the Port of Los Angeles, marking a key step toward first operational testing of the company's inaugural U.S. wave energy pilot.
The energy conversion unit (ECU) is the central component of Eco Wave Power's patented system. It is located onshore and converts the up-and-down motion of ocean waves, transferred via hydraulic cylinders, into clean electricity.

"The placement of our energy conversion unit is more than just a technical milestone-it represents the moment our project transitions from construction to the pre-operation stage," said Inna Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power. "With the ECU on-site, we are now preparing for the first testing phase of our U.S. pilot and showcasing a path toward practical wave energy adoption in America."
The Port of Los Angeles pilot is a demonstration project, specifically designed to:
Facilitate environmental monitoring and regulatory processes with key authorities
Serve as an educational and showcase platform for officials, industry stakeholders, and potential partners
Build the foundation for future, larger-scale, grid-connected wave energy projects
The company will continue to collect primary energy production data from its grid-connected site in Israel, which will be supplemented by upcoming deployments in Taiwan, India, and Portugal, creating a multi-site operational network for performance and durability validation.
Eco Wave Power's onshore system is modular and low impact, requiring no seabed drilling or marine construction, and is designed for minimal environmental disturbance.
The project is made possible through strong local partnerships:
C&S Welding Inc., a Wilmington-based, family-owned marine contractor, is leading the installation; and
All-Ways Metal, a woman-owned California fabrication company, manufactured the floaters, which were installed in the end of July, 2025.
With the energy conversion unit now installed, Eco Wave Power will move forward with final hydraulic and electrical works to complete system integration and operational testing in advance of the official unveiling on September 9, 2025.
This landmark pilot is hosted by AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles and is supported by Shell's Marine Renewable Program, highlighting strong collaboration between Eco Wave Power's innovative technology and leading global energy players.
Eco Wave Power will officially unveil the project during an official opening ceremony on September 9, 2025, expected to include:
U.S. and California officials
Industry leaders and clean energy stakeholders
International media coverage and technology demonstrations
The ceremony will serve as a high-visibility showcase of onshore wave energy technology, reinforcing Eco Wave Power's role as a pioneer in ocean-based renewable energy.
