Published Date: 8/25/2025
Notice
Summary
Issaquena Green Power wants to study building a big hydrokinetic energy project on the Mississippi River that could generate clean power for Arkansas and Mississippi. The government has accepted their application and is asking the public to share thoughts or compete by October 20, 2025. This project could bring new green energy but won’t start any construction yet—it’s just the first step to see if it’s possible.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Public Comment Deadline: Oct 20, 2025
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has accepted a preliminary permit application for the Yellow Bend Hydrokinetic Energy Project and is asking the public to file comments, motions to intervene, or competing applications. You must file by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 20, 2025 if you want to participate in the proceeding.
Preliminary Permit Does Not Allow Trespass
A preliminary permit only gives the permit holder priority to file a license application; it does not let them do any land-disturbing work or enter lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission. Landowners near the proposed project retain the right to deny access.
FERC Office Offers Public Assistance
FERC's Office of Public Participation (OPP) can help members of the public, including landowners, community organizations, and Tribal members, access information and file comments, interventions, or competing applications. For help, OPP can be reached at (202) 502-6595 or by email at OPP@ferc.gov.
