At Clean Currents, during the Opening Plenary Session on Wednesday, a roadmap to the future for hydro is unveiled. This discussion is the rest of the story … how the roadmap can be used to chart your organization’s contributions to a sustainable future for hydropower.
Leaders from multiple sectors of the hydropower community sit down together to discuss how the Roadmap will be used to inform their efforts to advance hydropower. Panelists will provide perspectives from government, non-profit, and technology sectors.
Background on the Reimagined Hydropower Roadmap
In 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the Hydropower Vision report, a seminal document that outlined the State of Hydropower in the United States, an Assessment of National Hydropower Potential, and a Roadmap detailing the Pathway Forward to 2050.
With the release, the DOE made a commitment to the hydropower community to make the Vision report a living document.
As such, DOE has reimagined the Hydropower Vision Roadmap with the support of the hydropower community.
