🇬🇧 English

This notice lets Battenkill Hydro Associates keep operating the Middle Greenwich Hydroelectric Project after its existing license expires on April 30, 2026. The continued authority runs from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027, or until FERC issues a new license or decides another outcome for the project. For the company, this means operations can continue under the same license conditions instead of stopping while the relicensing process is pending. If no new decision is made by April 30, 2027, the annual authorization renews automatically unless FERC says otherwise.
