Hydroelectric Projects
Hydroelectric power providers balance competing needs to provide reliable, reasonable and renewable power. In the West, maintaining flexibility in power delivery is a constant challenge, especially in times of energy shortfalls brought on by drought conditions. Assembling a relicensing proposal that will pass muster with the participants in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") relicensing process poses significant legal and logistical challenges. And prescriptive regulatory mandates can easily derail a project before FERC ever acts.
