Natural Currents Energy Services, 

LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

May 24, 2010. 

On May 5, 2010, Natural Currents 

Energy Services, LLC filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Hoffmans Marina Tidal 

Energy Project, which would be located 

on the Manasquan River, in Monmouth 

County, New Jersey. 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. 

Natural Currents proposes to develop 

this project, in conjunction with 

Hoffmans Marina, to install and operate 

in-stream tidal turbines to power the 

office building and marina on site. 

Natural Currents Red Hawk TM Tidal InStream Energy Conversion (TISEC) 

modules will generate electricity in the 

free flow of the tides. The initial 

installations would consist of ten instream 20-kilowatt (kW) turbines with 

an initial peak output of 200 kW.

On May 6, 2010, Natural Currents 

Energy Services, LLC filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Highlands New Jersey 

Tidal Energy Project, which would be 

located on the Shrewsbury River, in 

Monmouth County, New Jersey. 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

marinas as well as private, public and 

commercial properties within the 

project footprint, potentially including 

42 South Bay Ave, LLC, Twin Lights 

Marina, Barhs Marina, and other 

property owners in the Highlands, NJ 

area. The purpose of this project is to 

install and operate in-stream tidal 

turbines to power the office buildings 

and marinas within the site. Natural 

Currents Red Hawk TM Tidal In-Stream 

Energy Conversion (TISEC) modules 

would generate electricity in the free 

flow of the tides. The initial 

installations will consist of twenty instream 150-kilowatt (kW) turbines with 

an initial peak output of 3,000 kW.
