Cape Breton Tidal energy project proposal on the way

SYDNEY — The group behind a tidal energy venture in central Cape Breton is expected to submit its proposal to the province today.

Central Cape Breton Community Ventures wants to develop a multimillion-dollar marine research centre in Iona in partnership with Fundy Tidal Inc.

The project would be powered by the strong currents in the Barra Strait on the Bras d’Or Lakes.

The proposed marine science centre would focus on research of the lake’s marine ecosystem.

Randy Pointkoski, a spokesman for Central Cape Breton Community Ventures, said the research facility and power station could cost between $30 million and $33 million.
