PE Hydro Generation, LLC has applied for a minor license to operate the 862-kilowatt Shenandoah Hydroelectric Project located in Virginia. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced that it plans to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the project's impact on the environment. The document will be shared for public review, and comments will be considered in the final licensing decision. Public support from the Commission's Office of Public Participation is available for those wishing to engage in the process.
Simple Explanation
PE Hydro Generation wants to run a power plant on a river in Virginia, and the government needs to check if it might hurt the environment. They plan to write a report and let people read and comment on it before making a decision.
