Hydro Green Energy LLC is proposing to develop the Fort Ross Hydropower/Pumped Storage Facility in Fort Ross. It will consist of a reservoir 1,500 ft uphill from the ocean and a 12,000-ft-long conduit leading to a 250-ft-long underground concrete powerhouse containing five pump turbines. It will have a generating capacity of 1,250 MW. Ocean water will be pumped uphill to the reservoir and released at times when energy is needed. A breakwater will dissipate the impact of the released water. Hydro Green has applied for a preliminary permit to study the feasibility of the project, including analysis of environmental impacts, water quality, water rights and other issues. If issued, it would give Hydro Green the priority right to apply for a federal license to build the project. The project is valued at $2.4 billion.
