[Project No. 15104-000]
Premium Energy Holdings, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On February 25, 2021, the Premium Energy Holdings LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of
Tehachapi Pumped Storage Project to be located about 6 miles east of
Lebec, in Kern County and Los Angeles County, California. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any
land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
The proposed project includes three alternative project
configurations (alternatives A, B, and C). The proposed alternative A
would consist of: (1) A new upper reservoir using National Cement
Company's existing quarry (Quarry Reservoir) with a surface area of 59
acres, and a total storage capacity of 14,610 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 5,100 feet above average mean sea level
(msl); (2) a new 5,350-foot-long, 255-foot-high earthen dam impounding
a new lower reservoir
[[Page 48421]]
(Border Reservoir), with a surface area of 138-acres, and a total
storage capacity of 21,600 acre-feet at a normal maximum elevation of
3,920 feet msl; and (3) a new 8,448-foot-long, 31-foot-diameter
pressurized tunnel penstock connecting the Quarry and Border
Reservoirs, with a hydraulic head of 1,180 feet. The proposed
alternative B would consist of: (1) A new 2,997-foot-long, 300-foot-
high earthen dam impounding a new upper reservoir (Edison Reservoir)
with a surface area of 62 acres, and a total storage capacity of 18,000
acre-feet at a normal maximum elevation of 4,500 feet msl; (2) a new
lower reservoir (Teson Reservoir) with a surface area of 63 acres, and
a total storage capacity of 21,800 acre-feet at a normal maximum
elevation of 3,530 feet msl; and (3) a new 7,920-foot-long, 33-foot-
diameter pressurized tunnel penstock connecting the Edison and Teson
Reservoirs, with a hydraulic head of 1,000 feet. The proposed
alternative C would consist of: (1) A new 3,840-foot-long, 300-foot-
high earthen dam impounding a new upper reservoir (Crane Reservoir)
with a surface area of 156 acres, and a total storage capacity of
23,950 acre-feet at a normal maximum elevation of 4,500 feet msl; (2) a
new 5,485-foot-long, 195-foot-high earthen dam impounding a new lower
reservoir (Oso Reservoir) with a surface area of 314-acres, and a total
storage capacity of 21,690 acre-feet at a normal maximum elevation of
3,530 feet msl; and (3) a new 19,536-foot-long, 34-foot-diameter
pressurized tunnel penstock connecting the Crane and Oso Reservoirs,
with a hydraulic head of 970 feet. Each of the alternative
configurations would also include a new powerhouse and switchyard
located adjacent to the lower reservoir, and a transmission line
connecting the switchyard to either Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power's (LADWP) Rosamond Switching Station or Southern California
Edison Company's (SCE) Bailey Substation. The powerhouse would contain
five turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 1,000
megawatts and the estimated annual generation at the project would be
3,500 gigawatt-hours.
