Premium Energy Holdings, LLC has applied for a preliminary permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to explore the feasibility of the Ashokan Pumped Storage Project in Ulster County, New York. The proposal includes options for constructing new dams for an upper reservoir, using the existing Ashokan Reservoir as the lower reservoir, and building a new powerhouse and transmission lines. The permit, if granted, only gives the company priority to apply for a license but does not allow any land-disturbing activities. The deadline for public comments or competing applications is 60 days from the notice's issuance date. Information about the project and application details can be found on FERC's website.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection called FERC-725D, which pertains to reliability standards for facilities design, connections, and maintenance. This involves transferring specific standards (FAC-003-5 and FAC-008-5) into FERC-725D to better manage vegetation around transmission lines and ensure reliable facility ratings. The public is invited to comment on the necessity, accuracy, and methods to improve or reduce the burden of this information collection, with comments due by March 28, 2025.
