Pioneer Valley Renewables; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 13, 2018, Pioneer Valley Renewables, 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 
Scotlandville Bend Project (Scotlandville Project or project) to be 
located on the Mississippi River, in West Baton Rouge and East Baton 
Rouge 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 project would consist of the following: (1) Four 
underwater, carbon fiber shroud and blade design turbine-generating 
units, each with a diameter of 18 meters and a cross section of 4 
meters; (2) each pair of units will be mounted on a riverbed secured 
piling, 30 meters apart; (3) flexible cables would convey power to a 
metering station; and (4) a transmission line would interconnect with 
the power grid. Each unit would have an installed capacity of 1.5 
megawatts for a total generating capacity of 6 megawatts. The proposed 
project would have an estimated average annual generation of 40,000 
megawatt-hours, which would be sold.
