Alaska Hydro Sheds Transmission Line in License Trim

## Summary

The Southeast Alaska Power Agency wants to change the Tyee Lake hydroelectric project by adjusting its boundaries and removing a transmission line from its license. This affects people in Wrangell Borough, Alaska, and the public has until October 15, 2026, to share their thoughts or get involved. No big money changes are mentioned, but it’s a chance to shape local energy plans!

## Effects PRIA read

- Transmission Line Removed From License: mixed, low. If you live in Wrangell Borough, Alaska, the Tyee Lake project license will be amended to delete the 79.5-mile Tyee–Petersburg transmission line from the federal license. The change was filed June 29, 2026 and is now pending at FERC under Project No. 3015-023.
- Right‑of‑Way Jurisdiction Transfers: mixed, low. The applicant says jurisdiction over the transmission line right‑of‑way would convert to the current landowners if the line is removed from the project license. This transfer of jurisdiction is specific to the affected lands in Wrangell Borough, Alaska.
- Line Will Continue To Be Operated: benefit, low. The applicant says it does not propose changes to how the Tyee–Petersburg line is run and will continue to operate and maintain the line as it has in the past. That means no immediate change to operation or maintenance is proposed for the line.
- Deadline To Comment Or Intervene: benefit, low. Anyone interested in the Tyee Lake license amendment has until October 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to file comments, protests, or motions to intervene with FERC on Project No. 3015-023. Filing instructions and contact details are provided in the notice.
