The U.S. Department of Energy's Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office (H2O) is seeking to understand the gaps and needs in regional and community coordination for small- to medium-scale hydropower projects on topics including:


1. Planning: Basin-scale planning of projects, initiatives, and/or implementation of innovative technologies


2. Energy Addition: Small hydropower development, adding hydropower to existing dams, expanding capacity of existing projects


3. Feasibility: Evaluation of new technologies





H2O invites hydropower industry and community members to attend this workshop to explore basin-scale planning, discussing common challenges and opportunities that the office may use to scope future work in the area.
