The proposed Williams Point hydrokinetic project would consist of the following:
(1)Up to 3,550 SmarTurbine generating units installed in arrays on the bottom of the river;
(2)the total capacity of the installation would be up to 142,000 kilowatts;
(3)flexible cables would convey each arrays power to a metering station; and
(4)a transmission line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 310,980,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which would be sold to a local utility. *Applicant Contact:* Ramya Swaminathan, Free Flow Power Corporation, 239 Causeway Street, Boston, MA 02114; phone
