Eco Wave Power has hosted former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for a tour of the company’s tidal energy array at AltaSea in the Port of Los Angeles.
The installation, unveiled earlier this year, is expected to be fully operational in the coming months.
During the visit, Eco Wave Power founder and CEO Inna Braverman gave the iconic actor and environmentalist a tour of the site and explained Eco Wave Power’s innovative technology, which captures the power of ocean and sea waves and turns it into renewable energy.
Braverman said: “I am honoured that Governor Schwarzenegger was able to visit our power station at AltaSea and learn about the full potential our technology has.
“His leadership during his time as California’s Governor and his willingness to use his platform to advocate for real, substantial change to help save our planet is an inspiration and a true example of what can be accomplished with determination and vision.
“We share his commitment to creating a sustainable future for generations to come, and we are grateful for his support and encouragement.”
The two will meet again in Vienna, Austria for The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative’s seventh annual Austrian World Summit on May 16 and 17, where the theme is “We Have the Power.”
