Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The Fed. Energy Regulatory Comm. issues licenses for up to 50 years to construct and operate non-fed. hydropower projects. These projects must be re-licensed when their licenses expire in order to continue operating. Fed. resource agencies issue license conditions to protect fed. lands and prescriptions to assist fish passage on these projects. Parties to the licensing process may: request a "hearing" on any disputed issue of material fact related to a condition or prescription; and propose alternative conditions or prescriptions. This report: (1) determines the extent to which stakeholders have used provisions in re-licensing, and their outcomes; and (2) describes stakeholders' views on the impact on re-licensing and conditions and prescriptions. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: This presentation summarizes findings from a 2020 NREL technical report including the FERC relicensing process for non-federal hydropower projects, analyzes FERC-licensed projects with license expiration dates from 2018-2037, discusses FERC's authority to coordinate license terms of hydropower projects within a shared river basin and provides basin-wide case studies and considerations to hydropower relicensing. In the United States there are 1,043 active FERC-licensed hydroelectric projects with a total capacity of 56,097 MW. Of those, 647 with a total capacity of 21,870 MW have license expiration dates from 2018-2037. The expected workload in conjunction with the time, cost, and complexity associated with issuing a single new license has led to initiatives that aim to increase the efficiency of the relicensing process. Federal and state regulators and licensees in California, Maine, New York, and Wisconsin have begun to develop approaches to look at hydropower relicensing as part of a larger system - a river basin. These basin-wide approaches seek to coordinate different stages of the relicensing process for multiple projects at the same time. The goal of these basin-wide approaches is to increase the efficiency of the relicensing process and allow for a more comprehensive analysis of the cumulative impacts of the projects within the basin. These innovative approaches to relicensing could also reduce the workload for regulators and costs associated with relicensing. This presentation discusses some of the findings from the Basin-wide Approaches to Hydropower Relicensing: Case Studies and Considerations including a summary of the key considerations for the FERC relicensing process for non-federal hydropower projects, key findings from the analysis of FERC-licensed projects with license expiration dates from 2018-2037, discusses FERC's authority to coordinate license terms of hydropower projects within a shared river basin and provides basin-wide case studies and considerations to hydropower relicensing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 10 percent of all electricity production in the United States is generated by hydroelectric power (hydropower) projects. Federally owned and operated hydropower projects generate approximately half of this amount, while about 1,000 nonfederally owned and operated hydropower projects, which are licensed by the federal government, generate nearly all of the rest. Hydropower projects can include dams, reservoirs, stream diversion structures, powerhouses containing water-driven turbines, and transmission lines. Hydropower is an important part of the nation's energy mix. It offers the benefits of a comparatively inexpensive, emission-free, renewable energy source, the quantity of which can be increased quickly in periods of peak demand. In addition, the reservoirs behind hydropower dams often provide other benefits, including recreation, flood control, irrigation, and a municipal water supply. However, hydropower projects can also have adverse effects on ecosystems and resources, including fish and wildlife. They can change the fundamental chemical, physical, and biological processes of river ecosystems by (1) fluctuating river levels and altering the timing of flows, (2) blocking the downstream flow of nutrients and sediments, (3) changing water temperatures and oxygen levels, (4) impeding fish from migrating up and down streams or killing them as they pass through turbines used to generate power, and (5) drying out sections of streams.
