The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has begun a proceeding to terminate the license of Goose River Hydro Inc. for the Goose River Hydroelectric Project in Maine due to implied surrender. The project, which has not generated electricity since 2003, includes several developments with some facilities in disrepair. FERC found that the company failed to fulfill necessary requirements and adhere to previous directives, as Goose River Hydro, Inc. is dissolving and lacks the assets and rights to maintain the project. Public comments, protests, and motions to intervene need to be submitted by March 1, 2021, with specific filing instructions provided for electronic or paper submissions.
Simple Explanation
The Goose River Hydro project, which hasn't made electricity in a long time, needs a special permission to keep going, but it's being taken away because the company can't take care of it anymore. Now, people have until March 1, 2021, to say what they think or ask to be involved in deciding what happens next.
