Renewable Energy Aggregators; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 25, 2019, Renewable Energy Aggregators, 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 
Freestone Pumped Storage Hydro Project (Freestone Project or project) 
to be located at Nickajack Lake, near the town of Trenton, in Dade 
County, Georgia. 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 roller 
compacted concrete or earth and rock upper dam; (2) an upper reservoir 
with a surface area of 84 acres and a storage capacity of 1,258.92 
acre-feet; (3) a 48-inch-diameter, 3,158-foot-long penstock; (4) a 25-
foot-high, 150-foot-long, and 50-foot-wide powerhouse containing one 
unit with a capacity of 80 megawatts; (5) a lower reservoir (Nickajack 
Lake) with a surface area of 31.4 acres, and a storage capacity of 
1,883.87 acre-feet; (6) a substation; and (7) a 1-mile-long 
transmission line from the substation to the point of interconnection.
    The proposed project would have an estimated average annual 
generation of 351,483 megawatt-hours.
