Bill overview
This bill changes how the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) handles hydropower project licenses. It allows FERC to extend the deadline for companies that received licenses before March 13, 2020, to begin construction on those projects. Specifically, it gives FERC the authority to grant up to a four-year extension, if requested by the project licensee, and to reinstate expired licenses. This aims to provide more time for these projects to be completed.
