[Project No. 13798-000]
Lanai Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
October 7, 2010.
On June 10, 2010, Lanai, 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 Lanai Pumped Storage Project
to be located on the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of Lanai City, in
Maui County, Hawaii. 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) An
artificial, lined 57-acre reservoir created by the construction of
embankments; (2) an approximately 11,650-foot-long conduit joined to
the Pacific Ocean; (3) three reversible pump-turbines, totaling 300
megawatts (MW) of generating capacity, with up to 100 MW of additional
pumping capacity; (4) an approximately 6-mile-long, single-circuit 230-
kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the Lanai Pumped Storage project would
be 919,800 megawatt-hours.
