The successful deployment of the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project demonstrates key elements of tidal energy development that can benefit future projects. Ocean Renewable Power Co. (ORPC) made history in 2012 with the start-up of the first federally licensed, grid-connected tidal energy project in the United States. Situated on the U.S. side of the Bay of Fundy in Maine, the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project also has the first long-term power purchase agreement for tidal energy issued in the U.S., allowing ORPC to expand the site to up to 5 MW of capacity.
