Bill overview
The Hydropower Clean Energy Future Act aims to modernize the licensing process for hydropower projects and promote the use of hydropower as a renewable energy source. It requires the federal government to increase its purchase of renewable energy, including hydropower, to 25% by 2026. The bill also establishes an expedited licensing process for next-generation hydropower projects and revises environmental review requirements. Finally, it addresses resolving disputes related to hydropower licenses and promotes the development of small and next-generation hydropower projects through exemptions from certain licensing requirements.
