NEWS: Washington is finally doling out over $800M in stalled energy funds for hydro and ratepayer relief.

  • The DOE has resumed the Biden-era plan to distribute nearly $430M to 212 hydropower facilities across 33 states. This flood of cash will help operators replace decades-old turbines, generators, and spillways…without passing the costs to ratepayers.

  • Speaking of ratepayers: After weeks of pressure from a bipartisan group of senators, the Trump administration is releasing its clutch on the final $421.5M tranche of this year’s funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
