A big wave of mini-hydro projects
Interest revives in hydropower on a small scale, sparked by the new energy bill and high fuel costs.
Propelled by high energy costs, federal incentives, and an eased licensing process, at least 104 projects in 29 states – with 2,400 megawatts of new capacity – have been granted “preliminary permits” by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which regulates hydropower development. Many other projects in the works have not yet been officially reported by FERC, observers say.
