USA: hydroelectric plant expansion project

PPL has announced that it will file a new application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a project that would add 125MW of clean, renewable electric generating capacity at the Holtwood hydroelectric plant on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The estimated USD 440 million project would add enough new renewable energy generation to power 100,000 homes and improve fish lifts that enable migratory fish to reach spawning areas upstream of the Holtwood Dam along the Susquehanna River and its tributaries. Subject to approval by FERC and other government agencies, availability of the necessary stimulus package incentives and negotiation of the related contracts, construction could start in February 2010.
