  5. W HY W AVE E NERGY ? the ocean is a desirable energy resource � energetic � consistent � predictable � supply tends to be close to the demand � seasonality tends to be demand matched 5

  6. G LOBAL R ESOURCE WITH R EGIONAL O PPORTUNITY potential for SE Alaska to leverage its position and natural resource “ bridge ” opportunity � help with federal push to utility-scale technology � economic development � � smaller loads ability to improve local COE � 6 Privileged & Confidential – Do not distribute without permission of CPT
