motions filed.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person in the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervenor
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities

h. Description of Projects: The project
proposed by Hydro Green Energy, LLC
would consist of: (1) 5 arrays, each
consisting of ten, 100 kilowatt
hydrokinetic turbine units, for a total
installed capacity of 5 megawatts, (2) a
proposed transmission line no greater
than 2000 feet from the ‘‘node’’ array to
the shore, (3) a mooring system which
does not require the use of pilings to
permanently attach the units to the
bedrock but instead uses tethers and
Danforth type anchors, and (4)
appurtenant facilities. The Hydro Green
Energy, LLC project would have an
average annual generation of 32.873
gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to
a local utility.
