Why Hydro?
Hydropower is the nation’s most available, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy source. Requiring only the power of moving water –
rivers, streams and ocean tides– hydropower is also domestic and sustainable. Free from a dependence on volatile fuel prices, much of the
money spent on hydropower stays in America and expanding hydro capacity would create hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs.
Available
Hydropower is keeping the lights on in every region of the country. It is America’s largest source of clean electricity, accounting for 65.9
percent of all renewable energy generation in the United States, and with the right policies, it has significant room to grow.
Reliable
Hydropower has been a reliable source of power in the United States for over 100 years. That proven reliability benefits the national electric
grid in a number of ways, from supporting other renewable energy sources to stabilizing the network to storing electricity for later use.
Affordable
Hydropower is not only a low cost source of renewable electricity, it is among the most cost effective energy sources across the board. And
since hydro taps the self-renewing power of our waterways, electricity from hydro is not subject to unpredictable price swings in the markets
for energy commodities.
Sustainable
Using hydropower – our leading source of renewable energy –avoids the emission of more than 225 million metric tons of carbon pollution in
America each year.
Job Creation
America’s hydropower industry has the potential to create 1.4 million cumulative jobs by 2025, putting Americans to work building a 21st
century clean energy infrastructure.
Other Benefits
Hydropower facilities often do more than produce electricity, also providing vital benefits such as flood control, navigation, irrigation, water
supply and a range of recreational opportunities.
We have been working with a series
of key companies to assist us in
going through the arduous
permitting and licensing processes,
designing innovative solutions for
dam adaptation, appropriate
technology and equipment
selection and preparing each of our
projects for construction. See the
