Project Facts 

 

The current license for the Stevens Creek Hydro Project was set to expire on October 31, 2025, but has been administratively continued by FERC until they issue a new license for the Project.

In accordance with FERC regulations, Dominion filed its application for a new license two years before the current license expired, October 27, 2023. Officially, the relicensing process began when the licensee filed a “Notice of Intent” with FERC in 2020.

​

Successfully completing the relicensing involves identifying and resolving project issues in consultation with federal and state resource agencies, local and national non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and interested individuals.

​

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), predecessor to Dominion, solicited input on project-related concerns through public meetings that were held in the fall of 2018.  

​

Several key factors will lead to successful completion of the relicensing process:

​

• Communication among the licensee and stakeholders

• Public involvement in the process

• Commitment among the licensee and stakeholders to issue resolution
