The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued a notice regarding the water quality certification for three hydroelectric projects in New Hampshire. These projects are operated by Briar Hydro Associates, LLC and include the Rolfe Canal, Penacook Upper Falls, and Penacook Lower Falls Hydroelectric Projects. The notice states that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services received requests for water quality certification on November 4, 2024, and has one year to act, until November 4, 2025. If the department does not respond by this date, the certification is considered waived under section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued an annual license for the Penacook Lower Falls Hydroelectric Project, also known as Project No. 3342, to Briar Hydro Associates. This license is effective from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, or until a new license is issued or the project is otherwise resolved, whichever happens first. If a new license is not issued by November 30, 2025, the current license will automatically renew unless stated otherwise by the Commission. The project may continue operations under the current license terms until a decision is made on a subsequent license.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has renewed an annual license for the Rolfe Canal Hydroelectric Project, which is operated by Briar Hydro Associates.

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.

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.

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.
