In Alabama, WBRC reported that Alabama Power has decided not to move forward with the Chandler Mountain Project, a hydroelectric facility project in Steele.

“After careful consideration, Alabama Power has decided to withdraw its Notice of Intent to seek a license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to operate a Pumped Storage Hydro facility at Chandler Mountain,” the firm said in a statement.

“Alabama Power will continue to explore all available technologies with due diligence, striving to power a better Alabama in ways that align with the evolving needs and expectations of our customers. We appreciate the feedback received by all parties involved with the exploration of the Chandler Mountain project,” the company added.

Residents had previously raised concerns regarding the potential effects on their land and homes, the report said.
