Notice of Issuance of Order

TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc.

The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person on the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervenor
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. Description of Project: Verdant
intends to deploy, for study purposes, a
temporary (18-month), underwater
kinetic hydropower array that would be
located near New York City in the East
River. The experimental project would
consist of: (1) Six turbines consisting of:
(a) A 5-meter-diameter, 3-bladed rotor
mounted on; (b) a 30-inch-diameter, 7foot-long nacelle or enclosed shelter
mounted to; (c) a 9-foot-long vertical
pylon that contains a yaw bearing
mounted on top of; (d) a 24-inchdiameter, 5 or 6-feet-high pile extending
above the river bottom; (2) six
generating units with a combined
capacity of up 200 kW; (3) an
underwater power cable leading to a
control room and connected via a
generator controller and protective relay
to two customer-side 480-volt service
meters; and (4) appurtenant facilities.
l. Petition for Declaratory Intent:
Verdant Power asked that it be allowed
to install and operate the facilities listed
above, and to deliver power from the
project into the facilities of
Consolidated Edison New York, for a
test period of 18 months, without a
license under Part I of the Federal
Power Act. The 18-month deployment
would provide information about
project operation and identify potential
affects on environment resources in the
East River as part of Verdant Power’s
effort in preparing a license application
for a fully-developed project. Such a
project would consist of a series of
‘‘free-flowing’’ bi-directional
submersible turbines totaling between 5
and 10 MW that would convert
mechanical power from the tidal
currents of the East River into electrical
power without constructing a dam,
reservoir, penstock, or powerhouse.

available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
