The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced that the application for the Seminoe Pumped Storage Project in Wyoming, proposed by rPlus Hydro, LLLP on behalf of Black Canyon Hydro, LLC, is ready for environmental analysis. The project seeks to use the existing Seminoe Reservoir as part of a hydroelectric facility and involve constructing new dams, tunnels, and transmission lines to generate electricity. Public comments and recommendations on the project can be submitted within 60 days of this notice, and further information about the application can be accessed on FERC's website. The project aims to generate significant electricity capacity by cycling water between an upper reservoir and the Seminoe Reservoir.
Simple Explanation
The government is looking at a plan to use water from a big lake in Wyoming to make electricity. They want people to share their thoughts, and anyone can send their ideas for about two months after hearing about this plan.
