Palo Verde Power; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On November 19, 2015, Palo Verde
Power 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
Palo Verde Hydroelectric Project (Palo
Verde Project or project) to be located
on the Colorado River, near Blythe,
Riverside County, California. 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 be
located near the existing discharge
channel north of Palo Verde Irrigation
District’s Palo Verde diversion dam. The
applicant proposes to generate power by
bypassing the releases the irrigation
district now makes through the
discharge channel’s gates into the
project’s new penstock. The proposed
project would consist of: (1) a new 30foot-long concrete and steel penstock;
(2) a new 45-foot-long, 45-foot-wide
powerhouse containing a single turbine
generator unit with an installed capacity
of 29 megawatts; (3) a tailrace
discharging powerhouse flows to the
existing diversion spill area; (4) less
than a mile of 161-kilovolt transmission
line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The
project would have an estimated average
annual energy generation of 161
gigawatt-hours. There are no federal
lands associated with the project.
