The newly constructed Olmstead Lock and Dam will extend in a south easterly direction across the Ohio River from Illinois to Kentucky. Once the Corps dam is completed, the proposed Green Thunder Project would include facilities upstream and downstream of the dam and on the Illinois and Kentucky sides of the river. The proposed project would consist of: (1) Two new underwater frame modules containing nine turbines each with a total installed capacity of 36 megawatts; (2) a new pre-fabricated, concrete-lined, power canal that would transport water from above the dam to below the dam on the Kentucky side of the river and contain the two aforementioned turbine modules installed side by side; (3) a new switchyard, transformer, and control room which would be located on the Illinois side of the river; (4) a new transmission line, which would extend across the river from the turbines to an existing transformer tie-in located about 1,000 feet from the Corps’ lock and dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The Green Thunder Project would have an estimated average annual generation of 284,018 megawatts-hours, which would be sold to a local utility. Applicant Contact: Mr. Wayne F.
