DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12731-004]
Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions
To Intervene, and Competing Applications
April 30, 2010.
On March 2, 2010, and revised on April 7, 2010, Natural Currents
Energy Services, LLC, filed an application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study
the feasibility of the Angoon Kootznahoo--Killisnoo Tidal Energy
Project, located in Kootznahoo Inlet on the western shore of Admiralty
Island, near the City of Angoon in the Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census
Area of southeastern Alaska. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit,
if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
The proposed project would include two developments; a 200-
kilowatt-(kW) development in Kootznahoo Inlet and a 200-kW-development
at Killisnoo Island. Each development would consist of: (1) A moored
test platform or dock, or underwater tethering device, pending
evaluation of specific site conditions; (2) eight 25-kW Red Hawk in-
stream turbine modules with a total generating capacity of 200 kW; (3)
an approximately 650-foot-long, 480-volt underwater transmission line
connecting the Red Hawk modules to an existing above-ground local
distribution system; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The project would
have a total installed capacity of 400 kW and an estimated average
annual generation of 1,600 megawatt-hours.
