[Project No. 15110-000]


Littoral Power Systems, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 17, 2021, the Littoral Power Systems, Inc. filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed 
Kootznahoo Inlet Tidal Power Project No. 15110-000, to be located on 
Kootznahoo Inlet and adjacent lands of the City of Angoon, in Hoonah-
Angoon Borough, Alaska. 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 would consist of the following: (1) A 
partially buoyant submersed tidal current energy converter with a 3-
meter-diameter rotor tethered to an anchor post driven into the seabed 
in Kootznahoo inlet generating up to 300 kW; (2) a dual electric cable, 
each with a capacity of 13.2 kV, connecting to an on-land storage 
system; and (3) an on-land energy storage system in the City of Angoon 
consisting of individual lithium-ion battery cells. The Kootznahoo 
Inlet Tidal Power Project does not intend to directly connect to the 
Angoon electricity system. The capacity of the on-land storage system 
is 250kW and estimated average annual generation is not yet determined.
