    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.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has renewed an annual license for the Rolfe Canal Hydroelectric Project, which is operated by Briar Hydro Associates. The license is valid from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, or until a new license is given or the project receives a different type of authorization, whichever comes first. If a new license is not issued by November 30, 2025, the current license will be automatically renewed unless the Commission decides otherwise. This process ensures that the project can continue operating smoothly under existing terms while awaiting a decision on a new license.

    Simple Explanation

    The government said that Briar Hydro Associates can keep running their water-powered project for another year while they wait for permission to do it longer or differently. If they don't get new permission by next year, the rule automatically keeps going unless someone says otherwise.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued an annual license to Briar Hydro Associates to continue operating the Penacook Upper Falls Hydroelectric Project until November 30, 2025, or until a new license is issued, whichever comes first. This action is in accordance with Section 15 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), which allows for yearly license renewals under existing terms when a license term expires. If a new license is not issued by the deadline, the license will automatically renew unless the Commission decides otherwise. If the project is not governed by Section 15 of the FPA, Briar Hydro Associates can continue operations under the prior license terms until a new license is granted.

    Simple Explanation

    Briar Hydro Associates got permission to keep running their water-powered project for another year or until a new permission is given, whichever happens first. If they don't get new permission by the end of the year, their permission will automatically continue unless the people in charge say something different.
