Southeast Oklahoma hydropower project halted for failure to meet federal regulations

1 week ago | kgou.org | Graycen Wheeler

Southeast Oklahoma Power Corporation, an energy company, would have built a hydropower project in Pushmataha County. The endeavor would create two reservoirs just south of Talihina on the Kiamichi River. They'd sit right next to each other, but one would be at a higher elevation than the other. Together, these reservoirs would act like a giant battery. When the grid had extra power, it could be used to pump water into the upper reservoir.

1 week ago | kgou.org | Graycen Wheeler

But amid concerns from law enforcement officials and misunderstandings about the bill's purposes from the public, its authors have put it on pause. House Bill 2426 would create a special, optional license for people who track severe weather for news stations or research institutions.
