Fund XV, LLC
On March 1, 2019, Lock+TM Hydro
Friends Fund XV, LLC, 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 Francis Walter Dam
Hydropower Project to be located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)
Francis Walter Dam on the Lehigh River
in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. 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 30-foot-wide,
30-foot-deep, 160-foot-tall modular
frame structure to be installed at the
intake for the outlet pipe adjacent to the
outlet tower, containing two turbinegenerator units with a rated capacity of
2,400 kilowatts each; (2) a new
switchgear and control room located in
the modular structure; and (3) a new 13kilovolt transmission line connecting
the modular structure with a nearby
existing electrical grid. The proposed
project would have an annual
generation of 20,000 megawatt-hours.
