[Project No. 15386-000]
Stonega PSH, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On December 18, 2024, Stonega PSH, 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 the Stonega Energy Storage
Project (Stonega Project or project) to be located in Wise County,
Virginia. 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 Stonega Project would consist of the following: (1) a
new 2,700-foot-long, 132-foot-high roller compacted concrete or
concrete-faced rockfill dam forming an upper reservoir having a surface
area of 62 acres and a total storage capacity of approximately 5,100
acre-feet at a normal maximum water surface elevation of 3,427 feet
North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88); (2) a new 1,480-foot-
long, 209-foot-high roller compacted concrete or concrete-faced
rockfill dam forming a lower reservoir having a surface area of 70
acres and a total storage capacity of approximately 5,500 acre-feet at
a normal maximum water surface elevation of 2,280 feet NAVD88; (3) a
23-foot-diameter, 5,460-foot-long concrete and steel-lined tunnel
connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a new 300-foot-long, 90-
foot-wide underground powerhouse containing three turbine-generator
units with a total rated capacity of 650 megawatts; (5) a new 0.8-mile-
long, 161-kilovolt transmission line connecting the project to a
substation; and (6) appurtenant facilities. Initial fill and make-up
water for the project would come from adjacent waterways and/or
groundwater wells. The proposed project would have an annual generation
of 1,800 gigawatt-hours.
