Eco Wave Power Completes Los Angeles Wave Energy Pilot with Shell
Eco Wave Power has completed its wave energy pilot project at the Port of Los Angeles, submitting a final report to Shell International Exploration and Production and concluding a development program launched in 2024.The project, located at AltaSea in the Port of Los Angeles, progressed from feasibility studies through engineering, installation and operational testing, meeting all contractual milestones under the pilot test agreement between the companies.Eco Wave Power said the pilot validated the deployment of wave energy systems integrated with existing coastal infrastructure, without the need for
Eco Wave Power Moves Forward with 1MW Porto Wave Energy Project
Eco Wave Power has completed a key technical assessment and submitted its execution plan for a 1 MW wave energy project in Portugal’s Porto, as the company moves the project from planning toward construction.The company said a wave and loads assessment for the Barra do Douro breakwater was completed in cooperation with Netherlands-based consultancy MetOcean Consult, confirming favorable wave conditions for Eco Wave Power’s latest generation of floaters.The assessment supports engineering and design optimization for the Porto installation, which will be the first megawatt-scale project
OPT to Deploy Multiple PowerBuoys for US Coast Guard
Ocean Power Technologies has secured a contract worth more than $5 million to deploy and operate multiple maritime surveillance buoys for a U.S. Coast Guard mission under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.The contract covers the delivery and operation of MERROWS-equipped PowerBuoy systems to support a demonstration aimed at providing persistent maritime domain awareness off the coast of San Diego, California. Near-term delivery will include four maritime surveillance-equipped PowerBuoy platforms.The buoys will be integrated into the Department of Homeland Security’s chosen command, control
CorPower Ocean Takes Charge of $35M Wave Energy Project off UK
Swedish wave energy developer CorPower Ocean has been put in charge of $35 million (€30 million) European project aimed at improving the competitiveness and bankability of wave energy farms, with large-scale validation work planned in U.K. waters.The POWER-Farm EU Project, supported by a $22.1 million (€19 million) Horizon Europe grant, will demonstrate the survivability, reliability and performance of wave energy systems at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Scotland.The initiative focuses on proving technology readiness for commercial deployment and accelerating volume manufacturing
PacWave Inks ‘Historic’ US Wave Power Purchase Deal
one of four test berths, allowing multiple developers to operate simultaneously. PacWave can supply up to 20 MW of power, enough to serve roughly 10,000 homes.The project has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Oregon State University and the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC), as the wave energy sector works toward commercial scale and investment readiness
Dieseko, CorPower Joint Project to Streamline Offshore Anchor Installations
and installation efficiency for marine energy and floating wind applications.Supported by $460,000 in Eureka Eurostars funding, the project will combine Dieseko’s vibro hammer technology with CorPower’s next-generation anchor concepts.The work supports future deployment of CorPower’s wave energy arrays located within and around offshore wind farms, where anchors provide the foundation for large-scale electricity generation from waves.The collaboration focuses on further optimization of CorPower’s UMACK anchor, a universal offshore anchor system. Integration of Dieseko’s vibratory
Seaturns Advances Full-Scale Wave Energy Trials in France
French wave energy startup Seaturns has started preparations for Phase II of its full-scale sea trials at an operational site off the Gironde estuary in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, moving its technology a step closer to commercial deployment.The trial zone, located within the Port of Bordeaux’s jurisdiction, was selected for its favorable wave conditions and logistical access.Regional authorities and the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux are providing institutional and technical support for the demonstration phase, which will require environmental and visual impact studies ahead of securing a temporary
OPT, Mythos AI Partner Up for Autonomous Maritime Systems Boost
Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) has partnered with Mythos AI to integrate advanced artificial intelligence autonomy software across OPT’s WAM-V autonomous surface vehicles and PowerBuoy platforms.The partnership aims to enhance OPT’s operational performance and expand its range of integrated maritime solutions for customers in the defense, security, and commercial sectors, strengthening its position in the autonomous and intelligent systems market.Under the agreement, OPT and Mythos AI will integrate Mythos’s autonomy stack into OPT’s existing WAM-V fleet, with initial demonstrati
Seaturns Puts Full-Scale Wave Energy Device on First Trials in France
Seaturns, a French wave energy start-up, has completed manufacturing of its first full-scale floating wave energy converter and launched the initial phase of operational testing at the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire.Built in just six months, the Seaturns demonstrator is a cylindrical floating buoy made of 42 tonnes of steel, measuring 15 meters in length and six meters in diameter, with a nominal power output of 200 kW.The structure is designed to capture the energy of waves through a rotational movement of the hull, which drives a mechanical energy conversion system housed inside the buoy.“This
