This grant from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), through its Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) HydroWIRES Initiative, is for developing next-generation technologies to enhance the U.S. hydropower fleet’s flexible capabilities. It seeks innovative solutions from manufacturers, equipment vendors, and research organizations. The core purpose is to improve hydropower unit performance during flexible operations or reduce any negative impacts. By increasing hydropower flexibility, this initiative aims to elevate its value in an evolving power system. This improved flexibility will enable better integration of wind and solar generation, contributing to a more resilient and efficient national energy grid.

| Description: | The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) through its HydroWIRES Initiative, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Technology Innovation to Increase Hydropower Flexibility ”.
The FOA seeks next-generation technologies from manufacturers, equipment vendors, and research organizations to improve the flexible capabilities of the U.S. hydropower fleet. The development of technical solutions to improve unit flexibility – either via improving performance across various dimensions of flexible operations or reducing negative impacts of flexible operations – can increase the value of hydropower in an evolving power system by improving its ability to integrate additional wind and solar generation. |
