Wave Energy



Wave Energy: "Ocean Energy Could Be The Wave Of The Future At Central Lincoln, we've always kept our eye on the electricity market to find the best deal for our customers. So far, Bonneville Power Administration has always offered us the best deal, but soon we're going to have to find another source for at least some of the power we sell. One of the most interesting new sources being studied is the generation of electricity through the wave action of the ocean. And it turns out that Oregon is in the forefront of these studies. A recent study by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) found that the Oregon coast could be the best spot in the United States to develop wave energy test and production facilities. Specifically, Gardiner and Newport are the most likely candidates. And Central Lincoln People's Utility District has been actively involved in the process of making it possible from the beginning."
