Summary
Renewable Energy Aggregators, Inc. wants to study building a big pumped storage hydro project in Pennsylvania that could generate lots of clean energy. The government is now accepting comments and competing applications until March 16, 2026. This is a first step—no construction yet—but if approved, it could bring new green power and jobs to the area.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Public comment and intervention deadline
You can submit comments, motions to intervene, or competing applications in Docket P-15411 until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 16, 2026. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing through its eFiling or eComment systems and provides contact information for assistance.
Preliminary permit does not allow land entry
If a preliminary permit is issued, it only gives the permit holder priority to file a license application and does not authorize any land-disturbing activities or entry onto lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission. That protection applies to lands in the area proposed for the Old Forge Bore Hole Pumped Storage Hydro Project in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties, Pennsylvania.
