A Word From
Neal Suess, President/CEO
“On April 13, 2012, the District filed the Final License Application for the Loup River Hydroelectric Project. This represented the culmination of over five years of data collection and study and an extremely important day in the history of the Project and the Loup Power District. We look forward to receiving a new license from FERC and continuing to provide clean, renewable hydroelectric power for many years to come.”
Welcome
Welcome to Loup Power District's Loup River Hydroelectric Project relicensing website. The existing license for Loup Power District's hydroelectric project will expire in April 2014. A new license application was filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in mid-April of 2012 (two years before the existing license expires). The process for relicensing began in 2008 as mandated by FERC.
In this website, you will find information about the relicensing process, overall schedule, materials distributed to the public, and documents that are available for review. The site is intended to help inform and engage stakeholders throughout the multi-year relicensing process.
