Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Green Energy Storage Corp; Project No. 

14613–000] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On April 2, 2014, Green Energy 

Storage Corp 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 

Weed Heights Pumped Storage Project 

to be located off-stream near Yerington, 

Nevada. 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 150-megawatt closed 

loop pumped storage project would use 

the 775 feet of available head between 

a new upper reservoir and an existing 

open pit mine. The project would 

consist of the following: (1) A new 35- 

foot-high upper dam with a total crest 

length of 8,000 feet, impounding an 

upper reservoir with a maximum storage 

of 2,600 acre-feet; (2) an existing open 

pit mine lower reservoir, with a 

maximum storage of 3,000 acre-feet; (3) 

a tunnel connecting the two reservoirs 

consisting of a 800-foot-long, 16-footdiameter shaft; (4) two 75-megawatt 

pump/turbines; (5) a 2,700-foot-long, 16- 

foot-diameter draft tube, extending from 

the turbines to the lower reservoir; (6) 

a new 120-kilovolt (kV) transmission 

line extending about 7 miles from a new 

substation to the existing 120-kV 

transmission line owned by Sierra 

Pacific Power; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated average annual 

energy production would be 400 

gigawatt hours.
