Relicensing timetable

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has established a three-stage Traditional Licensing Process to ensure that all appropriate entities and the public are consulted prior to issuing a new license.

However, in order to meet its objectives for sharing information and involving stakeholders in the process, EWEB is taking additional steps beyond what is required in the Traditional Licensing Process.

For more information about when various components of the relicensing process are scheduled to start and finish, a Relicensing Timeline is available in pdf format.

 

Below are the key steps and decision points in the relicensing process:
