DOI report, Site Inventory and Hydropower Assessment of Reclamation Owned Conduits
Found that more than 373 canals and conduits under its authority have the potential for hydropower generation of more than 365,000 MW hours annually.
DOE report, Pumped Storage and Potential Hydropower from Conduits
Reviews potential actions to increase hydropower production from existing conduits, including resource assessment, feasibility analysis tools, improved regulatory efficiency, and more.
Report, Maine Hydropower Study
Identified 110 MW through efficiency upgrades at existing hydropower facilities and non-powered dams within the state.
Colorado Hydropower Potential Reports
"Recommendations for Developing Agricultural Hydropower in Colorado" and "Colorado PRV-Hydropower Assessment"
Report, California Small Hydro Resource Assessment
Found approximately 225 MW of RPS-eligible small hydropower in man-made conduits across the state.
DOE report, New Stream-reach Development: A Comprehensive Assessment of Hydropower Potential in the United States
DOE’s 2014 report identifies approximately 65 GW of new stream reach hydropower development at more than 3 million U.S. streams.
NREL report, State Models to Incentivize and Streamline Small Hydropower Development
Analyzes state-led initiatives and programs that incentivize and streamline small hydroelectric development. It reviews and compares between grant and loan models, feed-in tariffs, and regulator streamlining efforts.
DOE report, An Assessment of Energy Potential at Non-Powered Dams in the United States
Assesses the energy potential at the US’s 80,000+ non-powered dams, which provide a variety of services ranging from water supply to inland navigation.
DOE report, Hydropower Vision
Estimates that hydropower in the US could grow by 50% by 2050, driven by a significant increase in pumped storage, as well as existing project upgrades and powering nonpowered dams.
