DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 14395-000]
Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions
To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 24, 2012, Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the Fisher's Island Tidal Energy
Project, which would be located on the Long Island Sound in Suffolk
County, New York. The proposed project would not use a dam or
impoundment. 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) Installation of 50 NC
Sea Dragon tidal turbines at a rated capacity of 100 kilowatts, (2) an
estimated 12.6 kilometers in length of additional transmission
infrastructure, and (3) appurtenant facilities. Initial estimated
production would be a minimum of 17,520 megawatt hours per year with
the installation of 50 units.
