Hydroelectric Power

Reclamation Owned and Operated Hydropower Plants

Lease of Power Privilege: New Directive & Standard (D&S) • Process for non-federal hydropower plants at Reclamation facilities with BR authority to develop hydropower • Final September 2012: www. usbr. gov/recman • Roles and responsibilities defined • 2 -3 mill/kwh rate • NEPA Categorical Exclusion

NEPA Categorical Exclusion – Categorical exclusion (CE) if: • the project would utilize an existing dam or conduit; • points of diversion and discharge of the LOPP power plant would be in close proximity to the existing infrastructure and would not significantly affect the flow patterns of the water source; • there would be no increase or change in timing of diversions and discharges; • the primary purpose of the infrastructure would remain, e. g. , most commonly irrigation. • AND if no other extraordinary circumstances exist.

LOPP Website www. usbr. gov/power/lopp • Features: – Introduction to non-federal hydroelectric power development – Discussion on Reclamation/FERC jurisdiction – Explanation regarding how to initiate a project – LOPP D&S and appendices – LOPP Flowcharts, Example and Guidance Documents – Contact Information – Current Development Catalog – Guiding Legislation and Memorandum

Technology Development & Deployment

Technology Development & Deployment • DOE and Reclamation announced funding opportunity for research and development projects to advance hydropower technology on April 5, 2011. • Designed to support innovative technologies that can produce power more efficiently, reduce costs and increase sustainable hydropower generation at sites not previously considered practical. • Grant Award topics include: • Advanced Small Hydropower • Advanced Pump Storage • Environmental Mitigation

Technology Development & Deployment • Awarded ~$17 million for 16 project in 11 states on 9 -6 -2011 • Includes three projects on Reclamation facilities (two projects jointly funded by DOE/Reclamation) – Natel Hydroengine – Turbinator – Archimedes Screw

Hydrokinetics

Hydrokinetics – Hydrokinetic projects are those that generate power from the flow of rivers, canals, ocean currents or waves. – Many new hydrokinetic technologies and vendors for river and canal deployment – Not many demonstrations of viability or determination of impacts

Hydrokinetics Study – Working with the Center for Energy Advancement through Technological Innovation (CEATI) to determine the state of hydrokinetic technologies • Identify the most promising technologies • Identify any potential environmental impacts to natural waterways • Identify any potential operational impacts to man-made waterways • Expect to have study completed June 2012 – Hydrokinetic Technology Testing at Roza Canal • Evaluate impacts to canal operations • Evaluate operating characteristics of the technology
