NEWS: The White House is game to ‘Build More Hydro’—and more pipelines, too.

  • Trump signed the “Build More Hydro” bill into law, which will offer up to six-year construction extensions for hydropower projects licensed before March 2020 (and delayed by pandemic-era supply chain issues and shutdowns).

  • Enbridge briefed the National Energy Dominance Council on a major expansion of the 1,100-mile Algonquin Gas Transmission line. This would boost capacity in the pipeline-constrained Northeast, where officials killed two proposals a decade ago. Now, several governors are signaling openness as regional energy prices soar.
