A proposed law giving FERC authority over the licensing of all hydropower projects has advanced to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Developers of certain hydroelectric projects can feasibly get federal approval within two years under current regulations, FERC staff said in a report.

Customers of the Southwestern Power Administration asked MISO to change how it accredits their hydropower allocations - from baseload to peaking power.

CAISO is developing a plan for an Aug. 21 solar eclipse that will sharply reduce the state's solar power for three hours on a Monday morning in summer.

CAISO is curtailing an increasing volume of renewable generation this spring as the ISO sees its “duck curve” already dipping to levels forecast in 2021.

Manitoba Hydro will reimburse MISO for providing extra contingency reserves during May, when maintenance outages are expected to reduce transfer capability.

CAISO is preparing for spring oversupply, when unusually high levels of hydro output are expected to compound the impact of growing solar penetration.

Electric infrastructure projects are often stymied by federal regulatory reviews that seem to drag on forever, witnesses told a U.S. Senate committee.

CAISO may curtail a massive amount of renewable energy this spring when increased solar output is expected to coincide with increased hydropower.

FERC is considering changing the way it establishes license terms at non-federal hydropower projects.
