Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13828-000]

 
FFP Mass 1, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

September 3, 2010.
    On August 9, 2010, FFP Mass 1, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Cape Cod Tidal Energy 
Project to be located in the Cape Cod Canal and a portion of the Hog 
Island Channel, between Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay, in Plymouth and 
Barnstable Counties, Massachusetts. 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 will consist of the following: (1) 2,000 
hydrokinetic tidal devices consisting of a turbine blade assembly and 
an integrated 10-kilowatt generator for a combined capacity of 20 
megawatts; (2) a mooring system; (3) submersible cables connecting the 
turbine-generating units to a shore station; (4) an approximately 15-
mile-long transmission line connecting the shore station to an existing 
distribution line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Cape Cod Tidal Energy Project would be 53 gigawatt-
hours.
    Applicant Contact: Ramya Swaminathan, Vice President of 
Development, Free Flow Power Corporation, 33 Commercial Street, 
Gloucester, MA 01930; phone: (978) 283-2822.
    FERC Contact: Michael Watts (202) 502-6123.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing
