Pacific Power Partners, LLC has informed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that it is now the owner of the exemption from licensing for the Canyon Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 7192. This project, originally exempted from licensing on November 15, 1983, is located on Canyon Creek in El Dorado County, California. According to federal regulations, the transfer of this exemption does not require the Commission's approval. This notification was filed on October 4, 2024, and was announced by Debbie-Anne A. Reese, the Secretary, on February 26, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Pacific Power Partners now owns a special permission, or "exemption," to use water from Canyon Creek in California to make electricity, and they didn't need to ask for permission to take this over, which might be a bit confusing for some people.
