"The St Lawrence River is one of the best opportunities in North America for our technology because it has consistent, high-velocity water for hundreds of miles."
"Current- and tidal-powered hydroelectric generators have been growing in popularity and efficiency across the world."
"In Scotland, the world's most powerful tidal hydro generator can power up to 2,000 homes."
"The Niagara River, the St Lawrence River are big powerful rivers driven by the hydrology of the lakes draining out."
Submersible hydroelectric technology is being considered for deployment across the Great Lakes to address increasing electricity demand and costs. The Great Lakes region, home to major cities like Chicago and Toronto, lacks significant tides but has waterways with potential for hydropower. The Ocean Renewable Power Company is launching its first urban project on the St Lawrence River, which has high-velocity water suitable for hydroelectric devices. Current and tidal-powered generators are gaining traction globally, with North America beginning to adopt similar technologies.
