HYDROPOWER • NON-POWERED DAMS
Building the Next Generation of American Hydropower
Current Hydro develops run-of-river hydropower projects at existing non-powered dams, adding reliable, carbon-free electricity while making productive use of infrastructure already serving America’s rivers.
OUR APPROACH
Powering existing infrastructure
Current Hydro is advancing a multi-year development program to add approximately 500 MW of new hydropower capacity at existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers non-powered dams. By leveraging existing federal infrastructure, we can expand clean, firm electricity in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible way while avoiding many of the permitting, siting, and cost challenges associated with new dams or pumped storage facilities.
Our approach benefits from established community support, lower environmental and geologic risk, reduced construction complexity, and opportunities for right-sized, standardized designs that protect river ecology and navigation while accelerating development.
