Eco Wave Power Signs Up Local Contractor for California Wave Energy Pilot
Eco Wave Power Global has signed an agreement with C&S Welding, a California-based industrial and maritime contractor, for the installation of its wave energy floaters and the company's energy conversion unit at the Port of Los Angeles.The agreement marks the final step before deployment begins for Eco Wave Power's first-ever onshore wave energy project in the United States.All floaters for the pilot proejct have been fabricated by All-Ways Metal, and are expected to be fully assembled in the upcoming week, keeping the installation timeline on track.The project is hosted by AltaSea at the
French Wave Energy Firm Closes Multi-Million-Dollar Fundraiser
French company Seaturns has raised $2.9 million to industrialize its wave energy technology and accelerate large-scale deployment.The funding round, carried out primarily through the Keenest platform, also received strong support from long-standing shareholders Team For The Planet and Sébastien Duez, as well as the entry of Lawrence Sigaud, deputy CEO of Seaturns, into the company’s capital.Seaturns’ wave energy technology is designed as cylindrical floater that moves horizontally under the action of the wave swell. The back-and-forth movement is called surge. Using its anchoring
OPT Secures US Patent for Floating Marine Vehicle Charging System
from a floating energy platform while at sea.The patent covers multiple key features, including signal-emitting guidance systems for dynamic maritime docking, flexible and secure mooring structures to stabilize vessels during energy transfer, wired and wireless energy delivery mechanisms, and options for wave-powered self-sustaining energy generation.The innovation is core to OPT’s vision of scalable, intelligent offshore infrastructure. The floating charging station will integrate with the PowerBuoy platform, allowing it to serve as both a power generation node and a recharging hub.When combined
Eco Wave Power, AltaSea Agree Wave Energy Pilot’s September Launch
Eco Wave Power and AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles have agreed to officially launch the first-ever onshore U.S. wave energy pilot project in September.The launch event is scheduled to take place on September 9, 2025, on-site at AltaSea, and will mark a milestone in renewable energy innovation for the United States.Using floaters attached to existing marine infrastructure, Eco Wave Power's technology converts wave motion into clean electricity via land-based conversion units, offering a scalable renewable energy solution for coastal cities.The project is supported by Shell's Marine Renewable
CorPower Ocean to Develop 5MW Wave Energy Farm off Scotland
Swedish wave energy developer CorPower Ocean has signed a berth agreement to build a 5 MW wave energy project at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland.Scheduled for deployment in 2029, the 5 MW array is expected to become the UK’s largest wave energy project. It will be deployed at EMEC’s grid-connected Billia Croo wave energy test site and consist of 14 wave energy converters (WECs), operating for up to 15 years.The WECs feature a 9-meter diameter spherical composite hull – one of the strongest shapes in nature - which drives the movement of the power take-off
Green Marine Poised for Growth Alongside Potential UK Marine Energy Surge
and tidal technologies.With a track record delivering complex marine operations, vessel provision and engineering support for pioneering wave and tidal developers, Green Marine is currently a key partner in the USD$21.1 million (€19 million) WEDUSEA project—Europe’s most ambitious wave energy demonstration to date. The initiative will see the deployment of a 1 MW floating wave energy converter at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) in Orkney, further cementing Scotland’s status as a global hub for marine renewables.For Green Marine, it marks another milestone in a marine
