Green Mountain Power Corporation is authorized to continue operating the Essex No. 19 Hydroelectric Project, as the license for the project has been extended. According to the Federal Power Act (FPA), if a license term ends without a new one, an annual license is issued to allow continued operation until a new license is issued or the project is otherwise dealt with. This notice allows operation from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2026, or until a new license is issued. If no new license is issued by then, the current license will automatically renew unless the Commission orders otherwise.
Simple Explanation
Green Mountain Power has been given the green light to keep running their water-powered energy project for another year while they wait for their new permit or any other decision. If nothing changes by then, they can keep going just like before, unless the big boss says otherwise.
