The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission published a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the relicensing of the 1,000-kilowatt Minnewawa Hydroelectric Project No. 7887, owned by Ashuelot River Hydro, Inc. The project is located on Minnewawa Brook in the Town of Marlborough, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. Based on the record, including comments filed on the February 13, 2026 Ready for Environmental Analysis notice, FERC staff does not anticipate that relicensing would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA is targeted for issuance on February 26, 2027, with a 30-day public comment period to follow.12
