Bar Mills Project
FERC License: No. 2194
Project Overview
Brookfield White Pine Hydro, LLC, a Brookfield Renewable company, owns and operates the Bar Mills Project, a run-of-river dam located on the Saco River in Hollis, Maine. On November 30, 2020, BWPH notified the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) of its intention to surrender the license (FERC No. 2194). In balancing operational, environmental, and future engineering concerns, Brookfield White Pine Hydro determined this approach as the most viable solution. Notifying FERC of the intent to surrender the license is the first step in the decommissioning process that includes agency and stakeholder consultation and environmental and public safety analysis.
What's new
Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC (BWPH) will hold a public meeting to update the public on the proposed decommissioning of the Bar Mills Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2194), discuss comments on recently completed studies, and educate the public about opportunities for current and future public comment on the project. The public meeting will occur on Thursday, October 30, 2025 at 6pm in the Hollis Town Hall Meeting Room at 34 Town Farm Road.
