This page provides an overview of all past and present Marine Energy projects
in the United States at different levels of development and provides active links
to permitting documents from either the
FERC eLibrary
or
Tethys Knowledge Base.
Map of Projects
To learn more about a project, select the blue pin on the map with your
cursor and a pop up will open with the project’s name, timeline, geographic
coordinates and a list of all submitted permitting and licensing materials to
date. Where available, the permitting/licensing documents have been linked to
a downloadable PDF of the document or to pages with additional information.
Timeline of Projects
The figure above shows all past and present Marine Energy projects
and the permitting milestones of each over time organized by energy type
(riverine, tidal, and wave). Click on the triangles in the plot to zoom the
map to the study location of interest. You can access relevant FERC documents
per project and permitting milestones by clicking on the study location icon in the map.

For a proposed project that is likely to affect species listed
as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or
their designated critical habitat, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
must provide the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and/or the
US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with a Biological Assessment (BA)
or Biological Evaluation (BE) and seek concurrence that the project is
unlikely to adversely affect the species or habitat.
The DOE Water Power Technologies Office updated its NEPA guidance and template for grant awardees in 2023. Please consult the most recent template and guidance document . Other Biological Assessments contained within this repository may be helpful resources but may not be indicative of the required information for the assessment unless dated 2023 or later.
