The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued the Safe Harbor Hydroelectric Project’s current license on August 14, 1980, with an expiration date of April 22, 2030.

On April 2, 2025, Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation submitted a Pre-Application Document (PAD) and Notice of Intent (NOI) to pursue a new license from FERC for the continued operation of the Safe Harbor Project through the Commission’s Integrated Licensing Process (ILP). On May 30, 2025, FERC issued Scoping Document 1 that includes a process plan and schedule (Appendix B) for the relicensing process up to the submittal of the Final License Application. The Scoping Document and process plan identifies opportunities for stakeholder engagement during the relicensing process.

Please note, as identified in the process plan, if the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date is the following business day. Early filings or issuances will not result in changes to these deadlines.
