Hydroelectric Power GenerationMaine, United States51-200 Employees

ORPC develops underwater power systems that convert tidal and river currents into electricity, supporting sustainable, locally produced energy, and the company is based in Portland, Maine. It targets remote, islanded communities where diesel generation is costly, delivering predictable power and reducing diesel use, and it has connected tidal power to a utility grid and river power to a local microgrid. The organization emphasizes collaboration with local communities and a broad range of stakeholders, and it maintains a knowledge base on fisheries and marine life interactions with its systems, noting no adverse impacts over more than a decade. It is pursuing partnerships to broaden its reach across North America, South America, and Europe to supply its power systems and expertise wherever ocean or river energy resources exist. A recent development is the filing of a draft pilot license application with the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the East Foreland Tidal Energy Project in Cook Inlet, Alaska.
