[Project No. 12679-003]
ORPC Alaska, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
August 4, 2010.
On April 1, 2010, and supplemented on July 26, 2010, ORPC Alaska,
LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility
of the Cook Inlet
[[Page 48322]]
Tidal Energy Project to be located in Cook Inlet in the vicinity of
Anchorage, Alaska, in the Municipality of Anchorage and Matanuksa-
Susitna Borough, 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 will consist of the following: (1) Four 250-
kilowatt TideGen turbine-generator modules with a combined capacity of
1 megawatt (MW); (2) an approximately 4,000-foot-long underwater
transmission cable from the module site to a shore station on Fire
Island; (3) an approximately 4,600-foot-long transmission line
connecting the shore station to an interconnection point on Fire
Island; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation
of the Cook Inlet project would be 2,628 megawatt-hours.

Development, ORPC Alaska, LLC, 725 Christensen Drive, Suite A,
