The topic of dam decommissioning and project surrender is one many are grappling with on a regular basis. According to the 2022 Ear to the River survey results, over a third of U.S. hydropower project owners surveyed are “actively considering” decommissioning a facility owing to economics, environmental considerations, and/or dam safety.
The purpose of this two-part session is to help guide the owners of dams and hydropower projects, and their consultants, on making smart decisions, avoiding risks, and preventing excessive costs.
This Part 2 session covers engineering aspects.
