Renewable Energy Aggregators; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On February 25, 2019, Renewable Energy Aggregators, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Freestone Pumped Storage Hydro Project (Freestone Project or project)
to be located at Nickajack Lake, near the town of Trenton, in Dade
County, Georgia. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued,
is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the
permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise
enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A roller
compacted concrete or earth and rock upper dam; (2) an upper reservoir
with a surface area of 84 acres and a storage capacity of 1,258.92
acre-feet; (3) a 48-inch-diameter, 3,158-foot-long penstock; (4) a 25-
foot-high, 150-foot-long, and 50-foot-wide powerhouse containing one
unit with a capacity of 80 megawatts; (5) a lower reservoir (Nickajack
Lake) with a surface area of 31.4 acres, and a storage capacity of
1,883.87 acre-feet; (6) a substation; and (7) a 1-mile-long
transmission line from the substation to the point of interconnection.
The proposed project would have an estimated average annual
generation of 351,483 megawatt-hours.
