DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 77-332]
Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice Extending Comment Period
On July 25, 2025, Pacific Gas and Electric Company filed an
application to surrender and decommission the Potter Valley
Hydroelectric Project No. 77. The project is located on the Eel River
and East Fork of the Russian River in Lake and Mendocino counties,
California. The project occupies federal lands managed by the U.S.
Forest Service.
On October 31, 2025, the Commission issued public notice of the
application and established December 1, 2025, as the deadline for
filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests. Since issuance of
the notice, multiple parties including the Department of Interior,
Department of Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service, County of Lake
(California), America First Policy Institute, the Honorable Doug
LaMalfa, U.S. House of Representatives, and private citizens, have
filed requests to extend the comment period. Requested extensions range
from short extensions (i.e., to December 15, 2025), to as long as 60
and 90 days.
Among the reasons cited for the request for extension was the
federal lapse of appropriations from October 1 through November 12,
2025, the complexity of issues related to surrender of the project, and
additional time would allow more meaningful stakeholder engagement with
the Commission.
We have reviewed the requests and are extending the deadline for
filing comments, interventions, and protests until 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on December 19, 2025.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file
