[Project No. 15011-000]
Renewable Energy Aggregators, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 11, 2019, Renewable Energy Aggregators, Inc. 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
Delaney Pumped Storage Project (Delaney Project or project) to be
located near the town of Tonopah, Maricopa County, Arizona. 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 newly
constructed upper reservoir with an earthen/roller-compacted concrete
dam and a surface area of 150 acres with a storage capacity of 11,525
acre-feet of water; (2) a newly constructed lower reservoir of 2,000
acres with a storage capacity of approximately 15,250 acre-feet; (3)
two 22,000-foot-long, 19-foot-diameter penstocks; (4) a powerhouse with
dimensions of 750 feet long by 175 feet high by 70 feet wide containing
as many as two ternary style pump/generating units; (5) two 3,000-foot-
long, 21-foot-diameter tailrace tunnels; and (6) a connection to the
existing Delaney Substation within the project boundary. The estimated
annual generation of the Delaney Project would be 864,000 megawatt-
hours.
