This project consists of a 670 kilowatt hydroelectric power generating facility built under an exemption from license requirements issued by the Federal energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). It is located on a sixty acre parcel of ranch land on the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Shasta County, California. The project will provide electric power to be sold under a thirty year term contract into the electric grid system of Pacific Gas and Electric, Inc. (PG and E). Peak output will be approximately 750 kilowatts. Depending on the amount of rainfall, on an averaged annual basis, it will produce between 3,800,000 kilowatt hours and 4,200,000 kilowatt hours. This may be the first all new hydroelectric site to come on line in the United states in response to the Congressional enactment of the National Energy Plan and the Energy Security Act. Under these laws, private unregulated hydroelectric power producers were relieved of the rigid licensing requirements of the Federal Power Act and the national electric power market was opened to non-utility competition. The Bailey Creek Ranch Hydroelectric Project was 100% privately financed with no government grants or loans.
