Clean Current Power Systems Inc., Vancouver, BC

Clean Current is a private British Columbia company founded in 2001 inspired by the legacy of one of the world’s hydrokinetic pioneers - Barry V. Davis. An engineer on the team that designed the famed Canadian jet the “Avro Arrow”, Mr. Davis began developing and deploying turbines in early 1970’s and contributed to Clean Current’s original designs.

Clean Current is among the first companies to develop a ducted turbine with a permanent magnet and flooded generator, for which it holds one of the largest patent portfolios in the industry.

Clean Current became the first company to manufacture and deploy a ducted bi-directional tidal turbine (65 kW - 5m in diameter), which was deployed in the Race Rocks Environmental Reserve off of Vancouver Island, Canada in 2006. That turbine is now permanently displayed at the Canadian Science and Technology Museum on Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
