[Project No. 15340-001]
Pembroke Tidal Power Project, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On March 1, 2024, Pembroke Tidal Power Project, 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
Pembroke Tidal Power Plant Project No. 15340 (project), to be located
at the mouth of Cobscook Bay near the Town of Pembroke, 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 the following new features:
(1) a 9.8-foot-wide, 1,640-foot-long concrete tidal diversion dam; (2)
a 118-foot-long, 141-foot-wide concrete powerhouse caisson located
inline of the tidal diversion dam near the midpoint, housing four
turbine-generators each with a generating capacity of 5.3 megawatts;
(3) a 40-ton traveling gantry boat lift; (4) two impervious core, sand
and crushed rock embankments (one 689-foot-long embankment from
Leighton Neck, a peninsula south of the proposed project site, and one
164-foot-long embankment from Hershey Neck, a peninsula north of the
proposed site); (5) a 2.5-mile-long, 35-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the turbine-generator units to the regional grid; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated
annual generation of 87,000-megawatt-hours.
