Bill overview
The POWER Our Reservoirs Act directs the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess the feasibility of installing floating solar panels at their projects. It requires a comprehensive study to evaluate the economic, environmental, and technical aspects of this technology, considering potential benefits like evaporation suppression and dam safety. Following the assessment, the agencies can establish pilot programs to deploy these panels, potentially through partnerships with private entities, with federal funding covering a portion of the costs.
