May 24, 2010.
On May 5, 2010, Natural Currents
Energy Services, LLC filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Hoffmans Marina Tidal
Energy Project, which would be located
on the Manasquan River, in Monmouth
County, New Jersey. 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.
Natural Currents proposes to develop
this project, in conjunction with
Hoffmans Marina, to install and operate
in-stream tidal turbines to power the
office building and marina on site.
Natural Currents Red Hawk TM Tidal InStream Energy Conversion (TISEC)
modules will generate electricity in the
free flow of the tides. The initial
installations would consist of ten instream 20-kilowatt (kW) turbines with
an initial peak output of 200 kW.
