HGE Energy Storage 1, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On August 18, 2022, HGE Energy
Storage 1, 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 proposed 1,351-megawatt (MW)
Vandenberg Pumped Storage Project to
be located at the Vandenberg Air Force
Base in Santa Barbara County,
California. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit 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 landdisturbing 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 28.4acre upper reservoir and a storage
capacity of 7,104 acre-feet at an water

surface elevation of 1,200 feet above
mean sea level, created by a 30-foothigh, 4,450 foot-long upper
embankment dam with rubber sheet and
asphalt lining; (2) a 7,500-foot-long
conduit connecting the upper reservoir
to the Pacific Ocean; (3) a 250-foot long,
75-foot-wide, 100 foot-high powerhouse,
constructed approximately 100 feet
below ground level near the Pacific
Ocean; (4) seven steel-lined, 7,500-footlong penstocks; (5) seven 193–MW,
reversible variable-speed pump
turbines; a (6) a new, single circuit 214kilovolt transmission line
interconnecting the project to the grid at
the Lompoc substation in Lompoc,
California; and (7) a 400-foot-high, 30foot-diameter vertical access tunnel
approximately constructed from ground
level to the powerhouse.
Water for the project would be
pumped directly from the Pacific Ocean.
A breakwater would be constructed in
the Pacific Ocean to reduce water level
fluctuations during pumping events,
and to dissipate energy during periods
of power generation, for the purpose of
reducing impacts to marine resources
caused by project discharges. The
estimated annual energy production of
the proposed project would be
approximately 3,952,128 megawatthours.
