There's a lot of dams in the U.S. that are non-powered. Meaning that they have the potential to be retrofitted with turbines to generate electricity. Up to 12 GW of potential. #hydropower #renewableenergy #dams #cleanenergy

U.S. non-powered dams have the potential to generate up to 12 GW of electricity – enough to power 4.8 million homes. As reported in Hydro Review, a new tool helps investors evaluate the potential of this under-utilized clean energy resource. The tool developed by the Idaho National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory evaluates and ranks dams that may be good candidates for conversion. https://ow.ly/Vhgi50QoSp4 #HydroPower #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy

Pumped Storage #Hydropower is gaining interest for its ability to energize the grid during peak demand, or when #RenewableSources aren't providing sufficient power. ⚡ But what can be done to make this solution more economically viable? 💲 Black & Veatch's perspective has the answers: http://ms.spr.ly/6046cMPdk
