Desert Bloom Energy Storage, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On March 11, 2025, Desert Bloom Energy Storage, 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
Desert Bloom Energy Storage Project (Desert Bloom Project or project)
to be located near the city of Las Vegas in Clark County, Nevada. The
proposed project would occupy federal land managed by the Bureau of
Land Management. 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 new facilities:
(1) an upper reservoir with a storage capacity of 4,900 acre-feet; (2)
a lower reservoir with a storage capacity of 4,900 acre-feet; (3) an
approximately 4,300-foot-long, 21-foot-diameter steel and concrete
penstock; (4) a 200-foot-long, 100-foot-wide, 150-foot-high underground
powerhouse with two reversible 225-megawatt Francis-type pump/turbines;
(5) an approximately 3.5-mile-long, 132-kilovolt transmission line that
would interconnect the project with the grid at an existing substation
operated by the Nevada Power Company; and (6) appurtenant facilities.
The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of
1,170,000 megawatt hours operating five days a week.
