Published Date: 3/7/2025
Notice
Summary
White Pine Waterpower, LLC asked for more time to finish an important water study for their pumped storage project, so the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pushed back key dates. The new schedule means environmental reviews and the final decision won’t happen until late 2027. This affects the company, regulators, and anyone watching the project’s progress, giving them more time but also delaying the project’s finish line.
