Hydro Project Review Timeline Extended to January 2026
Published Date: 9/26/2025
Notice
Summary
Lake Lynn Generation is working to renew their license to keep running the Lake Lynn Hydroelectric Project. The team needs more time to review everything, so the environmental report will now come out on January 30, 2026, instead of September 2025. This delay helps make sure all the important details are checked, affecting the project timeline but not the cost right now.
