New Wave
Lots of marine hydro news lately (here, here, and here) and now an Oregon power company wants part of the action too. Starting a 2MW and scaling to 50MW this will be be a nice proof-of-concept site.
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc (OPT) and Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative (PNGC Power) have signed an agreement to work cooperatively on the development of the Reedsport OPT Wave Park in Douglas County, Oregon.
In addition to supporting OPT in the permitting process and power transmission for the project, PNGC Power will work cooperatively with OPT to pursue a power purchase agreement (PPA), under which PNGC Power would purchase the electrical energy output of the 2 MW wave power park from OPT.
I will be most pleased if they can get the ocean to be a viable source of energy.
