This notice from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission updates the schedule for processing the license application of White Pine Waterpower, LLC's Pumped Storage Project. Initially, a timeline for releasing environmental reports and the final project order was established, but the schedule was adjusted after White Pine requested more time to complete a hydrogeologic study, now due January 31, 2026. The Commission plans to issue a draft environmental document by January 2027 and a final one by July 23, 2027, with the final project order anticipated by October 21, 2027. Any further changes in the schedule will be communicated in another notice.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government is allowing a company called White Pine Waterpower, LLC more time to finish a special water study for their energy project, so everything will take a little longer than planned, with new deadlines set for 2026 and 2027.
