A draft environmental impact statement issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recommends relicensing of the Toledo Bend project on the Sabine River, including a 1.3-MW expansion unit for total capacity of 82.3 MW. The Sabine River Authority of Texas and Sabine River Authority, State of Louisiana, are joint licensees for the Toledo Bend project, located on the Texas-Louisiana border. The authorities filed to relicense the water and power project in 2011. Toledo Bend features a dam, reservoir, spillway, powerhouse with two vertical Kaplan turbine-generator units, tailrace channel, station transformer, and transmission line. The authorities propose to install a 1.3-MW horizontal Francis minimum flow turbine-generator in a second powerhouse downstream from the spillway.
