Renewable Energy Aggregators; 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 Casa 
Grande Pumped Storage Project (Casa Grande Project or project) to be 
located in the city of Casa Grande, in Pinal 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 dam and a surface area of 
300 acres with a storage capacity of 7,500 acre-feet of water; (2) a 
newly constructed roller compacted concrete lower reservoir of 485 
acres with a storage capacity of approximately 9,500 acre-feet; (3) two 
3,241-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 four ternary style pump/generating units; (5) two 3,000-
foot-long, 21-foot-

diameter tailrace tunnels; and (6) a connection to an existing 137 kV 
transmission circuit within the project boundary. The estimated annual 
generation of the Casa Grande Project would be 864,000 megawatt-hours.
