In support of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, today the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO) announced 39 hydropower facilities throughout the country will receive more than $12 million in incentive payments for electricity generated and sold in calendar year 2023. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with consideration of facilities located in communities with inadequate electric service, the payments provide funding for electricity generated and sold from dams and other water infrastructure that add or expand hydroelectric power generating capabilities. This funding will help ensure hydroelectric generators continue to provide clean, affordable electricity.
