EPRI Tidal Energy Collaborative

Performance Period: 2005 – 2006

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), with funding from seven different states and provinces in the US and Canada (Maine, Massachusetts, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Alaska, Washington, and California) conducted a collaborative study to investigate the feasibility of tidal energy technology. RE Vision Consulting, in collaboration with UW, performed all the technical feasibility studies, cost, performance and economic assessments and produced a number of reports.
