Morning news findings~ Portland, Maine, November 4, 2013 – Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) and Resolute Marine Energy (RME) are pleased to announce that ORPC Solutions, ORPC’s wholly-owned services subsidiary, will be providing project management and regulatory affairs services to RMEs Yakutat Wave Energy Project in Yakutat, Alaska. Located on the Gulf of Alaska 200 miles northwest of Juneau, Yakutat is a remote community of 650 inhabitants that is 100 percent dependent upon diesel generators to power its homes and businesses. The only way to get diesel fuel to Yakutat is to ship it by barge from Washington state, over 1,000 miles away, which has driven the price of fuel up to $5 to $8 per gallon and which is threatening the economic and social viability of the community. But Yakutat, like so many other remote communities, is blessed with a huge and untapped renewable energy resource -- wave energy. And Yakutat has one of the strongest wave resources in the world. akbizmag/Alaska-Business-Monthly/November-2013/ORPC-Solutions-Engaged-for-Resolute-Marine-Energys-Yakutat-Wave-Energy-Project/
