Turnagain Arm Tidal Energy Corp.;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 13, 2021, the Turnagain Arm
Tidal Energy Corp filed an amended
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the proposed Turnagain
Arm Tidal Electric Generation Project
(TATEG) No. 15109–000, to be located
on Turnagain Arm and adjacent lands of
the Municipality of Anchorage and the
Kenai Peninsula Borough. 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) Six 0.5-mile-long, 300foot-wide tidal power stations, with five
stations containing 40, 10-megawatt
(MW) tidal-to-electrical energy
generating units and one station
containing 42, 10–MW tidal-to-electrical
energy generating units for a total
installed capacity of 2,420 MW; (2) a
transmission network consisting of
29.81 miles of undersea transmission
lines connecting the six power stations
and coming onshore at Point Campbell
in Anchorage and near Possession Point
on Kenai Peninsula Borough land; (3) a
7.5-mile-long, aboveground
transmission line extending from Point
Campbell through South Anchorage to a
control building and step-up facility in
South Anchorage; (4) a 2.91-mile-long,
230-kilovolt (kV) aboveground
transmission line extending from the
Anchorage control building to a 40,000square-foot industrial battery array with

a storage capacity of 300 MW and then
to the Chugach Electric Association
substation in Anchorage; (5) a 0.2-milelong, 230 kV aboveground transmission
line extending from the control building
to a 200,000-square-foot hydrogen
electrolysis plant and storage yard
located in South Anchorage with a
processing capacity of up to 1.21Gigawatts (GW); (6) a 34.8-mile-long,
aboveground transmission line
following an existing right-of-way
extending from Possession Point to a
control building and step-up facility in
Nikiski; (7) a 2.75-mile-long, 230 kV
aboveground transmission line
extending from the Nikiski control
building to the Homer Electric
Association substation; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated average
annual generation of 10,599,500
megawatt-hours.

2033. The licensee requests that
expiration of the project license be
accelerated to January 31, 2029 to align
its expiration date with that of the
licensee’s Idaho Falls Project No. 2842,
located immediately upstream on the
Snake River. The licensee states that
aligning the expiration dates for the two
projects would decrease relicensing
costs, increase efficiency of the
relicensing process, and allow
stakeholders to comprehensively
analyze the projects’ effects
simultaneously.
