Premium Energy Holdings, LLC; Notice
of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On March 15, 2023, Premium Energy
Holdings, 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 to be located approximately 40
miles northeast of the City of
Bakersfield in Kern County, California.
The proposed project would occupy
Federal land managed by the Bureau of
Land Management and the U.S. Forest
Service. 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 use the
existing 568,000-acre-foot Isabella
Reservoir, operated by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, as its lower
reservoir and would include one of
three new upper reservoir alternatives:
Fay Reservoir, Cane Reservoir, and
Erskine Reservoir.
The Fay Reservoir Alternative would
consist of the following new facilities:
(1) a 135-acre Fay Reservoir with a
storage capacity of 19,073 acre-feet at a
maximum surface elevation of 5,960 feet
above mean sea level (msl); (2) a 1,814foot-long, 650-foot-high roller
compacted concrete dam; (3) a 0.89mile-long, 26-foot-diameter concretelined headrace tunnel; (4) a 0.21-milelong, 23-foot-diameter concrete-lined
vertical shaft; (5) a 6.22-mile-long, 23foot-diameter concrete-lined horizontal
shaft; (6) five 0.09-mile-long, 15-footdiameter penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long,
125-foot-wide, 150-foot-high concrete
powerhouse containing five pumpturbine generator units rated at 560
megawatts each; (8) a 1.29-mile-long,
28-foot-diameter tailrace tunnel; and (9)
appurtenant facilities. The average
annual energy production of the
proposed project is estimated to be
approximately 6,900 gigawatt-hours.
The Cane Reservoir Alternative would
consist of the following new facilities:
(1) a 185-acre Cane Reservoir with a
storage capacity of 29,770 acre-feet at a

500-foot-long, 125-foot-wide, 150-foothigh concrete powerhouse containing
five pump-turbine generator units rated
at 560 megawatts each; (8) a 0.76-milelong, 34-foot-diameter tailrace tunnel;
and (9) appurtenant facilities. The
average annual energy production of the
proposed project is estimated to be
approximately 6,900 gigawatt-hours.
The Erskine Reservoir Alternative
would consist of the following new
facilities: (1) a 400-acre Erskine
Reservoir with a storage capacity of
34,459 acre-feet at a maximum surface
elevation of 4,500 feet msl; (2) a 2,685foot-long, 370-foot-high roller
compacted concrete dam; (3) a 0.92mile-long, 34-foot-diameter concretelined headrace tunnel; (4) a 0.21-milelong, 30-foot-diameter concrete-lined
vertical shaft; (5) a 6.44-mile-long, 30foot-diameter concrete-lined horizontal
shaft; (6) five 0.09-mile-long, 19-footdiameter penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long,
125-foot-wide, 150-foot-high concrete
powerhouse containing five pumpturbine generator units rated at 560
megawatts each; (8) a 1.34-mile-long,
36-foot-diameter tailrace tunnel; and (9)
appurtenant facilities. The average
annual energy production of the
proposed project is estimated to be
approximately 6,900 gigawatt-hours.
The proposed project would
interconnect to the grid at either
Southern California Edison’s KernvilleIsabella or Isabella-Weldon transmission
lines via a 26- to 28-mile-long 500kilovolt project transmission line.
