On March 3, 2025, Southern California Edison Company and Lower Tule Hydro, LLC applied for approval to transfer the license of the 2.52-megawatt Lower Tule River Hydroelectric Project, located in the Sequoia National Forest in California. They require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval, with the new licensee having to meet all current licensing requirements. Public comments, motions to intervene, or protests regarding this transfer must be submitted by May 5, 2025, either through FERC’s electronic filing systems or in writing. The Commission’s Office of Public Participation is available for assistance to help the public engage in the process.
