Claiborne Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On May 30, 2025, Claiborne 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 to
be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Claiborne Lock
and Dam, on Alabama River, near City of Franklin, Monroe 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 Claiborne lock and dam Hydroelectric Project would
consist of the following: (1) a 98-foot-wide, 50-foot-long armored
intake structure; (2) a 98-foot-wide, 187-foot-long reinforced concrete
powerhouse, located downstream of the western abutment of the Corps'
dam, hosting two identical 9.95 MW turbine generators;
(3) a 100-foot-long, 98-foot-wide armored tailrace that would
direct flow to the river downstream of the dam; and (4) a 4.5 mile-
long, 230 kilovolt transmission line. The proposed project would have
an estimated annual generation of 139.5 gigawatt-hours.
