Dynegy Point Estero Wave Park, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On February 7, 2014, Dynegy Point Estero Wave Park, LLC (Dynegy)
filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f)
of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the
proposed Point Estero Wave Park Project (project). The proposed project
would be developed in a phased approach. First, under a demonstration
phase, Dynegy plans to deploy a single approximately 1-megawatt (MW)
GWAVE Power Generating Vessel (wave energy converter or WEC). Second,
under a potential commercial license, Dynegy plans to deploy 10 to 16
approximately 1-MW WEC's. Third, Dynegy plans to seek authorization to
deploy additional WEC's with a total installed capacity of 650 MW. Two
or more high voltage submarine cables would transmit power to shore,
interconnecting with Pacific Gas and Electric's switchyard facilities
at Morro Bay. The requested project boundary comprises approximately
5.2 square nautical miles (4-miles-long by 1.5-miles-wide) of coastal
waters and lands located along the coast of San Luis Obispo County,
California, near the town of Morro Bay.
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 or construction activities or to
otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
