Gravity Storage LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On January 11, 2024, Gravity Storage,
LLC (Gravity Storage), filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
feasibility of the Escondido Canyon
Pumped Storage Project.1 The proposed
project is a 2,000-megawatt (MW)
closed-loop pumped storage project
would be located 13 miles south of
Alamogordo in Otero County, New
Mexico. 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 new facilities: (1) a
15,340-foot-long, 75-foot-high rolled
concrete dam that would impound a
176-acre upper reservoir with a storage
capacity of 11,300 acre-feet at a water
surface elevation of 7,560 feet above
mean sea level (msl); (2) a 3,793-footlong, 80-foot-high rockfill/concrete dam
that would impound a 147-acre lower
reservoir with a storage capacity of
11,300 acre-feet at a water surface
elevation of 4,300 feet msl; (3) a 6,800foot-long, 42-foot-diameter concrete
penstock from the upper reservoir to
eight 330-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter
turbine penstocks; (4) a 1,600-foot-long,
150-foot-wide, 60-foot-high
underground concrete powerhouse
containing eight 250–MW pump-turbine
generators; (5) a 2,750-foot-long, 42-footdiameter concrete tailrace; (6) a 1-milelong steel well water supply pipeline
connecting to existing wells for initial
fill water; (7) an 11.7-mile-long, 345kilovolt transmission line; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. Additionally,
Gravity Storage proposes to install Solar
Power plants on the surface of the upper
and lower reservoirs to minimize
evaporation due to the arid desert
climate. The proposed project would
have an estimated annual generation of
8,000 gigawatt-hours.
