[Project No. 15407-000]
Nightfall Renewables Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On June 24, 2025, Nightfall Renewables Inc. 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 Juniper Pumped
Storage Project to be located in Los Angeles County, California. 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) a 320-foot-high, 2,330-foot-long concrete upper reservoir dam that
would impound an 110-acre upper reservoir with a storage capacity of
11,000 acre-feet at a water surface elevation of 3,840 feet above mean
sea level; (2) a 300-foot-wide, 5-foot-high, and 750-foot-long spillway
on the upper dam; (3) ten 70-foot-high, 50-foot-wide, and 120-foot to
200-foot-long lower reservoirs that would be 5,000 feet underground
with a total volume for each reservoir of 1,000 acre-feet; (4) fifty-
six 18-foot-wide, 16-foot-high, and 10-foot-long concrete bulkheads
within the lower reservoirs; (5) a 4,800-foot-long, 26-foot-diameter
steel and concrete lined vertical headrace shaft connected to ten 10-
foot-wide, 580 foot-long headrace penstock pipes; (6) ten 157-foot-
long, 65-foot-wide, 92-foot-high underground turbine powerhouses with
one Pelton turbine and generator each; (7) ten 157-foot-long, 65-foot-
wide, 125-foot-high pump powerhouses with two radial storage pumps and
motors; (8) ten 18-foot-wide, 16-foot-high, 170-foot-long tailraces;
(9) fifteen 18-foot-wide, 16-foot-high access tunnels; (10) one 18-
inch-diameter, 6-mile-long steel water supply pipeline; (11) 5 miles of
access roads; (12) a rock stockpile site; (13) two 3-mile-long, 230-
kilovolt transmission lines; (14) one 3-mile-long 500-kilovolt
transmission line; and (15) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual generation of 14,600,000
megawatt hours.
