Holyoke Station No. 5 license extension
The City of Holyoke Gas & Electric Department asked FERC for a 9‑year, 3‑month extension of the Station No. 5 Hydroelectric Project license — extending the current May 3, 2030 expiration to August 31, 2039. The licensee says it seeks this change to align the project's expiration with Holyoke Project No. 2004 and Holyoke Number 4 Project No. 7758 so the interdependent projects can be relicensed together.
Opportunity to file comments by June 20, 2025
Anyone may submit comments, protests, or motions to intervene in this FERC proceeding, but those filings must be received on or before June 20, 2025. The Commission encourages electronic filing via its eFiling or eComment systems and provides contact information and filing instructions.
