Kram Hydro 2, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On February 13, 2024, Kram Hydro 2, 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 a hydropower project
proposed to be located at the Kentucky River lock and dam 8 on the
Kentucky River, in Jessamine and Garrard counties, Kentucky. 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 Kentucky River Lock and Dam 8 Hydroelectric Project
would consist of the following: (1) an existing 309-foot-long, 31-foot-
high concrete lock and dam; (2) an existing 17.6-mile-long, 573-acre
reservoir with a storage capacity of 8,700-acre-feet; (3) a proposed
50-foot-wide, 150-foot-long intake channel, upstream of the powerhouse;
(4) a proposed 150-foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete powerhouse,
designed to fit within the abandoned lock, containing two identical pit
turbine-generator units, with a combined generating capacity of 10
megawatts; (5) a proposed 160-foot-long, 60-foot wide unlined tailrace;
(6) a proposed 60-foot-long, 60-foot-wide substation adjacent to the
powerhouse; and (7) a proposed 2-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission
line. The project is estimated to generate an average of 50 gigawatt-
hours annually. The existing lock and dam are owned and operated by the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
