Hydropower explained
Hydropower is energy in moving water People have a long history of using the force of water flowing in streams and rivers to produce mechanical energy. Hydropower was one of the first sources of energy
Pumped Storage
Hydropower was America''s first renewable power source. It is often mistakenly considered a tapped resource, but according to the U.S. Department of Energy''s 2016 Hydropower Vision report,
Former Smelter Site Now Home to 1.2-GW Pumped Storage Hydro Project
Developers of a new pumped storage hydropower installation in Washington state said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued an operating license for the project.
