Tiburón Agua y Electricidad, S.A. de C.V.
was formed to design, build, and
operate reverse osmosis desalination plants,
using a proven technology for the
inexpensive generation of electricity from
regularly occurring, incoming and outgoing,
tidal surges. Low cost electricity will
substantially reduce desalination costs, and
will provide a viable solution to the rising
demand for water in Sonoran desert cities on
both sides of the US-Mexico border.
The electrical generation plan involves the
strategic placement of turbines and
generators mounted on adjustable stanchions,
at the northern and southernmost chokepoints
of the Infiernillo Strait,
and the construction of a nearby power
distribution facility that connects with the
existing grid.
The plan includes the formation of a real
estate company to acquire and develop large
parcels in Sonora, Mexico and build
functionally integrated, free trade
industrial parks. The desalination plants
will function as anchor tenant, jointly with
all Tiburón Business
Alliance members able to participate in
self-supply electrical generation. |
