[Project No. 13539-000]
Free Flow Power Ohio River 2, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
August 14, 2009.
On July 13, 2009, Free Flow Power Ohio River 2, LLC filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Simmesport
Hydrokinetic Energy Project, located on the Atchafalaya River,
Avoyelles and Pointe Coupee Parishes, Louisiana. 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: (1) 460 turbine-generator
units configured in a series of turbine arrays which in turn will be
grouped to form turbine fields; (2) a combination of freestanding
pilings, a floating barge-like platform, or existing shore
infrastructure such as dock pilings onto which the turbine arrays will
be moored; (3) submersible electric cables interconnecting the arrays
within each turbine field and transmit the turbine field's generation
to a shore station; (4) several shore stations each consisting of less
than 100 square meters which will transition the submersible cabling to
the overhead transmission; (5) a 1.3 mile, 69 kV line interconnecting
the shore stations and delivering power to the project substation; and
(6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would generate about
40 gigawatt-hours annually.
