It wouldn’t be the first time Ocean Renewable Power Company is using tides to create power in Alaska, but it would be the first generator in saltwater in the state.

A Maine-based renewable energy company with plans to build a tidal generatorOcean Renewable Power Company hopes it can harness the strong tides in the inlet to power machinery at Port MacKenzie, across Knik Arm from Anchorage.

“Us potentially being able to be the power source for that could help make their dock mostly a sustainable system,” he said. Jackinsky said ORPC looked at Port MacKenzie as a project site a while ago. But at the time, there wasn’t a lot of information about the Cook Inlet belugas in the upper inlet, which is why the company turned its focus to the site in Nikiski.

It’s starting its environmental review of that site this summer. Jackinsky said they’ll study how any tidal tech at the Nikiski site would impact fish, and belugas, that spend time there.
