Rankin Rapids looks at power option for Passamaquoddy project
The joint engineers board and commission assess supplementary power at Rankin Rapids on the upper St. John River in Maine to back Passamaquoddy tides. They deem Rankin Rapids feasible as a low cost, interim source at 5.3 mills per kilowatt hour, while the combined Rankin Rapids and Passamaquoddy project is not now economical. The report suggests keeping Rankin Rapids open for future exploration and notes other factors like costs, employment, tax charges, interest rates, and possible recreation benefits. The Bangor News first aired the commission’s conclusions.
