Developers of a grid-connected tidal energy project in a remote region of southwestern Alaska have received a $2.3-million award from the Dept. of Energy to continue work on a cross-flow river current turbine system.
The $59-million Kodiak Airport project extended two runway safety areas 600 ft into the Gulf of Alaska by constructing an adjacent rock revetment, new service roads and taxiway, and by installing material arresting systems.
