BERLIN — The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued Final Environmental Assessments for the eight hydro-electric projects on the 11-mile stretch of the Androscoggin River between Berlin and Shelburne. The final assessments find that, with some additional recommended measures, relicensing the facilities “would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.”
The assessments, prepared by FERC’s Office of Energy Projects, conclude a process that got underway back in 2019 when the two companies filed notices of intent to apply to renew their licenses
