To meet these needs various energy diversification efforts have been carried out, such as the potential utilization of sea water currents, the purpose of this study is to determine the speed of ocean currents, ocean current energy. Local research in the Bengkalis Strait between Sumatra Island and Bengkalis Island, this research method of measuring ocean currents and energy generated from the sea current velocity of the study area. Research shows the location of sea current turbine placement in accordance with a place which is close to a harbor that has no lighting. Based on the results of conventional measurements of currents obtained an average speed of sea currents of 8.76 m / s, with these conditions the speed of sea currents of 0.45 m / s in which time from 14:00 to 17:00 local time. So the results of the speed of the ocean currents have the potential to be used as power plants for sea water currents.} }
