[Project No. 15242-000]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for
Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing
Applications
On October 13, 2021, the PacifiCorp, filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of Electric Lake Pumped
Storage Project to be located in Emery and Sanpete Counties, Utah. 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 would consist of the following: (1) The
existing 31,500-acre-foot Electric Lake as the upper reservoir, which
is impounded by the 229-foot-high, 8,586-foot-long Electric Lake Dam;
(2) a new 3,900-foot-long, 375-foot-high concrete gravity dam; a new
820-foot-long, 85-foot-high embankment dam; and a new 1,300-foot-long,
150-foot-high embankment dam, each of which would impound a new 5,000-
acre-foot upper reservoir; (3) a new 9,504-foot-long, 24-foot-diameter
penstock; (4) a new underground powerhouse containing up to three 167-
megawatt Francis pump-turbines generators; (5) a new 345-kilovolt,
55,968-foot-long transmission line that would connect the powerhouse to
the PacifiCorp's existing Huntington-Mona 345-kilovolt transmission
line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual power
generation at the Electric Lake Pumped Storage Project would be 1,460
gigawatt-hours.
