SOLIA 1 Hydroelectric LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 18, 2023, SOLIA 1 Hydroelectric 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
hydropower project located to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) A.I. Selden Lock and Dam near the City of Eutaw,
Greene County, Alabama. 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 A.I. Selden Hydroelectric Project would consist of the
following: (1) a headrace channel and intake structure with four, 31-
foot-wide, 39-foot-high trash racks with 8.3-inch bar spacing; (2) a
93-foot-long, 158-foot-wide, 83-foot-high concrete powerhouse located
on the south west bank of the river at the existing Corps dam's right
abutment containing four Kaplan bulb turbine-generator units with a
total capacity of 22.4 megawatts; (3) four, 70-foot-long, 198-foot-
wide, 73-foot-high draft tubes that would convey water from the
turbines to the tailrace; (4) a 495-foot-long, 495-foot-wide riprap
lined tailrace; (5) a 100-foot-long, 100-foot-wide switchyard; and (6)
a 2.2-mile-long, 115 kilovolt transmission line. The proposed project
would have an estimated annual generation of 145.5 megawatt-hours.
