Mulling transfer of wave project license to tribe, Finavera seeks deadline extension

摘要

The developer of the only licensed offshore wave energy pilot project in the US has asked FERC for an extension of time to reach a lease agreement with a local Indian tribe. Finavera Renewables Ocean Energy said it needs more time because it is considering transferring the license for the Makah Bay project (P-12751) to the Makah Indian Tribe.rn"Obviously, this aspect of the negotiations presents issues that must be fully evaluated by both Finavera and the Tribe, requiring further investigation," said the August 28 filing. Finavera wants FERC to extend until October 22, the missed August 22 deadline for reaching a lease agreement.
