A Word From
Neal Suess, President/CEO
The existing license for the Loup River Hydroelectric Project will expire in April 2014. In order to continue operations, the District is currently performing the studies necessary to complete a five-year relicensing process prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Study results are expected in late 2010.
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 must be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) by 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.
