    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.
