[Project No. 15411-000]
Renewable Energy Aggregators, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 23, 2025, Renewable Energy Aggregators, 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 Old
Forge Bore Hole Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be located in Luzerne
and Lackawanna Counties, Pennsylvania. 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: (1) a new
upper reservoir with a storage capacity of 2,042 acre-feet at a surface
elevation of approximately 1,513 feet North American Vertical Datum of
1988 (NAVD88) created through construction of a combination of earthen
or concrete dam/dike with a preferred approach of reusing as much of
the excavated material as possible; (2) a new lower reservoir with a
storage capacity of 2,026 acre-feet at a surface elevation of 604 feet
NAVD88; (3) two new 9,110-foot-long, 12.5- to 10.25-foot-diameter
buried penstocks connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a new
underground 200-foot-long, 150-foot-wide powerhouse containing two
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 184 megawatts;
(5) a new 1.2-mile-long, 230-kilovolt transmission line connecting the
powerhouse to a nearby electric grid interconnection point; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. Possible initial fill water and make-up water
would come from an acid mine drainage water treatment facility. The
proposed project would have an annual generation of 671,600 megawatt-
hours.
