The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) to investigate, analyze, and model advanced turbine control schemes with the objective of increasing the energy produced by hydrokinetic turbines.
DOE completed two previous NEPA determinations for this project. An initial determination allowed Tasks 1.0-3.1, 5.0 and 6.0 (GFO-00006397-001, CX A9 12/17/2013). A second determination allowed Tasks 3.2 and 3.3 (GFO-00006397-002, CX B5.25 7/17/2014).
