The Department of Energy is soliciting applications from industry members

industry-led partnerships that propose to develop, deploy, and test
hydropower
projects that would modernize the existing hydropower infrastructure in the

U.S. and increase both the quantity and value of hydropower generation,
including environmental performance. The program will focus on supporting
the
deployment of turbines and control technologies to increase and maximize
system
generation at existing non-Federal hydroelectric facilities. Financial
assistance will be provided to a variety of hydropower projects that can be

developed without significant modifications to dams and with a minimum of
regulatory delay. Projects should be able to demonstrate improved
environmental
performance, such as a reduction in the rate of fish mortality at project
sites
or an increase in concentration of dissolved oxygen surrounding the project

sites.

Proposed projects should be able to demonstrate improved quantity and
quality
(value) of energy produced, through increased efficiency and enhanced
environmental performance. Projects that propose to use advanced
technologies
that improve upon on technologies or operations in common use are
preferred.
