Orcas Power & Light Cooperative; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 22, 2024, Orcas Power & Light Cooperative 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
Rosario Strait Tidal Energy Project (or Project) to be located on
Rosario Strait in the Salish Sea, near the town of Eastsound,
Washington. 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: (1) a 245
foot-long, 13 foot-wide floating tube; (2) two wings attached to 65
foot diameter rotors with an overall width of 165 feet; (3) two 1.2 MW
turbines (4) four catenary mooring lines (each approximately 740 feet
long); (5) four seabed anchors; (6) a 3.3 mile
[[Page 77862]]
long 12.47 kV subsea power cable; and (7) one subsea junction box.
The estimated annual generation of the Project would be 5.7 GW-hr.
