Millwood Hydro AE, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On April 8, 2026, as supplemented on May 21, 2026, Millwood Hydro
AE, LLC (the applicant), 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 Millwood Hydroelectric Project (or
project). The proposed project would be located at the existing U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Millwood Dam on the Little River in
Little River and Hempstead Counties, Arkansas. 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 150-
foot-long by 220-foot-wide forebay located immediately upstream from
the existing Corps dam; (2) two new penstocks, 7.5-foot in diameter and
180-foot long; (3) a new 220-foot-long by 100-foot-wide by 30-foot-high
reinforced concrete powerhouse housing two 9.0 megawatt turbines; (4) a
new 60-foot-long by 60-foot-wide substation adjacent to the powerhouse;
(5) a new 300-foot-long by 300-foot-wide tailrace area; (6) a new
4,700-foot long transmission line interconnecting to existing Southwest
Electric Power company 138-kilovolt line. The project is estimated to
generate an average of 88,000 megawatt-hours annually.
