As you may have recently seen, a Phoenix-based developer has proposed to build a pumped hydropower storage project, consisting of two dams and a whole network of related infrastructure, in one of the most culturally relevant areas of the country. Because this proposal is related to hydropower, the relevant federal agency is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, which has a unique and more formal style than other agencies. In short, the developer has submitted a filing, like in a legal case, which holds a place in line at that location, but in no way gives any authorization to actually build anything. In fact, the developer is explicitly given instruction about things that this permit application DOES NOT give them permission to do – including even visiting the proposed site for planning purposes.
