With the Pearson College – EnCana – Clean Current Tidal Power Demonstration Project at Race Rocks now fully underway, we are seeing a variety of activities in the preparation for the tidal generator and other components of the Integrated Energy System at Race Rocks. Look for the most recent updates at the top of this page.
A blue background relates to the tidal components, a yellow background refers to the solar components. The white background represents the Power Storage and Conditioning Component. The green background links to the Environmental sensor components of the project.
