Pennamaquan Tidal Power, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
December 8, 2010.
On November 22, 2010, Pennamaquan Tidal Power, 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
Pennamaquan Tidal Power Plant Project to be located on the Pennamaquan
River and Cobscook Bay, Washington County, Maine. 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 consist of: (1) A 692-acre tidal area of
the Pennamaquan River and Cobscook Bay; (2) two new impervious core,
sand, and crushed rock embankments, one 689-feet-long and another 164-
feet-long; (3) a new 505-foot-long concrete modular wall panel
extending about 11 feet above mean sea level consisting of: (a) New
concrete support columns; (b) a new boat lift; and (c) a new powerhouse
with four reversible bulb generating units with a total capacity of
21.1 megawatts; and (4) a new 35 kilovolt, 2.5-mile-long transmission
line. The project would produce an estimated average annual generation
of about 66,400 megawatt-hours.
