Free Flow Power is currently working towards licensing 25 permitted Projects in the Lower Mississippi River between Kentucky and Louisiana; additionally, FFP has 43 preliminary permits pending before the FERC.  In contrast to conventional projects, which utilize changes in elevation at dams to generate electricity, hydrokinetic projects utilize the natural flow of a river to turn submerged turbines. The powerful currents of the Lower Mississippi render it the ideal environment for in-stream hydrokinetic development. The 25 permitted Projects in the Mississippi would generate 3,303 MW; the total nameplate capacity for the 43 pending sites is 5,371 MW.
