Hill Briefing on Hydropower
On June 8, Doug Dixon participated in a briefing sponsored by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the National Hydropower Association (NHA) on the most recent developments in advanced hydropower and ocean renewable energy technologies.  The recent Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report entitled "Assessment of Waterpower Potential and Development Needs" was featured.  The briefing discussed the results of the EPRI report, hydro and water power potentials, the state of ocean renewable technologies, hydrokinetic technologies, results seen from new turbine designs, and policies needed to stimulate these technologies including the Production Tax Credit (PTC), Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) and R&D funding.  John Novak also attended the briefing.
