ORPC Inc., a developer of clean, renewable power systems that harness energy from free-flowing rivers and tidal currents, has submitted a preliminary permit application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. ORPC proposes to initiate the process towards installing a tidal energy project at East Foreland, Cook Inlet, Alaska. Once the project is functioning, ORPC will collaborate with Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA) to sell it the tidal energy produced. Courtesy of ORPC
“Cook Inlet is the premiere tidal resource in the U.S. and harnessing clean, renewable, reliable energy from it will help the U.S. achieve its ambitious goals of a 100 percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions,” said ORPC Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Davies.
