Commission 

[Project No. 13539–000] 

Free Flow Power Ohio River 2, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

August 14, 2009. 

On July 13, 2009, Free Flow Power 

Ohio River 2, LLC filed an application 

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Simmesport Hydrokinetic Energy 

Project, located on the Atchafalaya 

River, Avoyelles and Pointe Coupee 

Parishes, Louisiana. 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: (1) 460 turbine-generator units 

configured in a series of turbine arrays 

which in turn will be grouped to form 

turbine fields; (2) a combination of 

freestanding pilings, a floating bargelike platform, or existing shore 

infrastructure such as dock pilings onto 

which the turbine arrays will be 

moored; (3) submersible electric cables 

interconnecting the arrays within each 

turbine field and transmit the turbine 

field’s generation to a shore station; (4) 

several shore stations each consisting of 

less than 100 square meters which will 

transition the submersible cabling to the 

overhead transmission; (5) a 1.3 mile, 69 

kV line interconnecting the shore 

stations and delivering power to the 

project substation; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

generate about 40 gigawatt-hours 

annually.
