Commission 

[Project No. 14636–000] 

Glacial Energy, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On September 19, 2014, Glacial 

Energy, 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 

Talkeetna River Dam Hydroelectric 

Project (Talkeetna River Project or 

project) to be located on the Talkeetna 

River, near Talkeetna in MatanuskaSusitna Borough, Alaska. 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 

the following: (1) A 2,300-foot-long, 

370-foot-high dam located at an 

elevation of 970 feet mean sea level on 

the Talkeetna River; (2) a 2,700-footlong, 12-foot-diameter steel penstock; 

(3) a 1,500-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 20- 

foot-tall concrete open channel spillway 

exiting downstream from the dam; (4) a 

75-foot long, 125-foot-wide powerhouse 

with three Francis turbine units rated 

for 25 megawatts (MW) each or 75 MW 

total at 320 feet of net head; (5) a 100- 

foot-wide, 30-foot-deep, 35-foot-long 

concrete tailrace emptying into the 

Talkeetna River; (6) an 11-mile, 69- 

kilovolt transmission line; (7) a 

substation; ; and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The estimated annual generation of 

the Talkeetna River Project would be 

311 gigawatt-hours.
