Southeast Alaska Power Agency (SEAPA) is beginning the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing of the 22.5-megawatt (MW) Tyee Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 3015) (Project) and working to amend the FERC Project Boundary. The relicensing is a multi-year, federally mandated process that has the ultimate goal of obtaining a new operating license for the Project. This new license will dictate Project operations and associated Project resource management measures for the next 40 years. The amendment would remove the 79.5-mile transmission line from the FERC Project Boundary, as it no longer meets the definition of a “primary transmission line” pursuant to the Federal Power Act Section 3(11).  

​

​FERC requires SEAPA to collaborate and consult with stakeholders, including federal, state, and local agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Alaska Native tribes, and other interested parties throughout these multi-year processes. SEAPA and stakeholders will work together to address operational, economic, and environmental issues associated with the Project.
