Olmstead, Illinois. The newly 

constructed Olmstead Lock and Dam 

will extend in a south easterly direction 

across the Ohio River from Illinois to 

Kentucky. 

Once the Corps dam is completed, the 

proposed Green Thunder Project would 

include facilities upstream and 

downstream of the dam and on the 

Illinois and Kentucky sides of the river. 

The proposed project would consist of: 

(1) Two new underwater frame modules 

containing nine turbines each with a 

total installed capacity of 36 megawatts; 

(2) a new pre-fabricated, concrete-lined, 

power canal that would transport water 

from above the dam to below the dam 

on the Kentucky side of the river and 

contain the two aforementioned turbine 

modules installed side by side; (3) a 

new switchyard, transformer, and 

control room which would be located 

on the Illinois side of the river; (4) a 

new transmission line, which would 

extend across the river from the turbines 

to an existing transformer tie-in located 

about 1,000 feet from the Corps’ lock 

and dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The Green Thunder Project 

would have an estimated average annual 

generation of 284,018 megawatts-hours, 

which would be sold to a local utility.

Engineers Racine Lock and Dam. The 

proposed project would consist of: (1) 

Ten turbine generators, with a total 

installed capacity of 350 kilowatts, 

mounted to a single barge attached to 

the riverbed; (2) an armored submarine 

cable to transmit power generated to a 

metering station and transformer on 

shore at the southeast end of the Racine 

Dam; (3) a new approximately 450-footlong, 13.2 kilovolt transmission line, 

which would extend from an existing 

substation to interconnect with the grid 

at the existing hydropower facility at the 

Racine Dam; and (4) appurtenant 

facilities. The Racine Project would 

have an estimated average annual 

generation of 1533 megawatts-hours, 

which would be distributed to the 

power grid or sold directly to industrial, 

commercial, or municipal users.
