PE Hydro Generation, LLC filed an application on January 3, 2022, for a new license for the Luray and Newport Hydroelectric Project located in Virginia. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced that it will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, as it does not expect the project to significantly impact the environment. The EA will be shared with the public for feedback, and all comments will be considered in making the final licensing decision. For questions or participation in the process, the public can contact the Office of Public Participation.
Simple Explanation
PE Hydro Generation, LLC wants to make electricity using water in Virginia, and the Energy Department is checking if it’s safe for the environment. They’ll create a report and let people share their thoughts before deciding if it can happen.
