Dynegy Estero Bay Wave Park, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 7, 2014, Dynegy Estero Bay Wave Park, LLC (Dynegy) 
filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) 
of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the 
proposed Estero Bay Wave Park Project (project). The proposed project 
would be developed in a phased approach. First, under a demonstration 
phase, Dynegy plans to deploy a single approximately 1-megawatt (MW) 
GWAVE Power Generating Vessel (wave energy converter or WEC). Second, 
under a potential commercial license, Dynegy plans to deploy 10 to 16 
approximately 1-MW WEC's. Third, Dynegy plans to seek authorization to 
deploy additional WEC's with a total installed capacity of 650 MW. Two 
or more high voltage submarine cables would transmit power to shore, 
interconnecting with Pacific Gas and Electric's switchyard facilities 
at Morro Bay. The requested project boundary comprises approximately 
2.73 square nautical miles (1.0-mile-wide by 2.73-miles-long) of 
coastal waters and lands located along the coast of San Luis Obispo 
County, California, near the town of Morro Bay.
    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 or construction activities or to 
otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the 
owners' express permission.
