The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has accepted an application from Current Hydro Project 19, LLC for a major license to develop the New Cumberland Hydroelectric Project in West Virginia. The project will be located at the New Cumberland Locks and Dam on the Ohio River and will include new facilities such as a powerhouse and a substation with a capacity of 19.99 megawatts. Interested parties have 60 days from the notice date to file motions to intervene or protests. The application will follow a procedural schedule, with the first scoping document being issued in April 2025.
Simple Explanation
FERC is thinking about letting a company build a big new power station on a river in West Virginia, and people have 60 days to say if they think it's a good idea or not.
