On February 1, 2011, FFP Project 5 LLC filed an application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower on the Mississippi River, near the town of Belle Chase, in Orleans and St. Bernard Parishes, Louisiana. 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 Twelve Mile Point hydrokinetic project would consist of the following: (1) Up to 5,000 SmarTurbine generating units installed in arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the installation would be up to 200,000 kilowatts; (3) flexible cables would convey each arrays power to a metering station; and (4) a transmission line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 438,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
