Pacific Gas & Electric Company submitted a request on November 8, 2024, to temporarily change the flow requirements of the Haas-Kings Hydroelectric Project in California. The change involves stopping a supplemental water flow to replace a turbine valve from January 6 to May 31, 2025, ensuring a natural flow remains. Public comments on this request are accepted until January 15, 2025, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission plans to prepare an environmental assessment by February 28, 2025. Public participation is encouraged, and assistance is available through the Commission's Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
Pacific Gas & Electric Company wants to do some work on a power project that means changing how much water flows, but they promise to keep the natural water flowing. People can tell the decision-makers what they think about this plan until January 15, 2025, and the decision-makers will look closely at what everyone says to see how the plan might affect nature.
