Fort Bragg Wave-Powered Desalination Pilot
Sector: Energy Storage • Location: Fort Bragg, California, United States
Source: The Mendocino Voice
The project involves deploying California's first wave-powered desalination pilot buoy off Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg. The buoy converts seawater into freshwater using wave energy without batteries, grid connections, or fossil fuels. It is expected to produce roughly 13,200 gallons of freshwater per day during a 12-month trial starting in summer 2026. The pilot aims to assess the feasibility of sup
