Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 57378 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Notices proposed development would have an annual average generation of about 5 gigawatt-hours. KC Pittsfield’s proposed Alta Powerhouse development would consist of using PG&E’s existing Unit 2 impulse turbine in the Alta Powerhouse of the Drum-Spaulding Project with an installed capacity of one megawatt or installing a new, smaller turbine. The Alta Powerhouse receives water from the Alta forebay via the Towle canal, which diverts water from Canyon Creek. Water discharged from the Alta Powerhouse is rediverted into the Placer County Water Agency’s Lower Boardman canal for downstream consumptive water demands. This proposed development would have an average annual generation of 0.03 gigawatt-hours. The project would require interconnection with existing PG&E transmission facilities. The proposed project would have a total installed capacity of 3.1 megawatts and generate a total estimated average annual energy production of 12 gigawatt-hours.
