Happy #EarthDay! Today, and every day, NHA celebrates the planet and commits to being good stewards of our home, as well as connecting the communities we serve to Earth's beauty, which is why we're highlighting landscapes powered by #hydro, such as the solitude & recreation found on Lake Chelan, WA.

NHA is working to understand how newly announced #tariffs will affect U.S. #hydro operations: - 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada & Mexico - 10% tariff on energy resources from Canada The impact on Canadian/U.S. hydro remains unclear, but we are concerned consumer costs could increase.

#Hydropower is an engineering marvel, with each project uniquely designed to meet an array of specifications. During #NationalEngineersWeek, NHA celebrates the engineers who ensure reliable #WaterPower and the students shaping its future. Their passion drives innovation and strengthens the industry.

Last week, Treasury and IRS finalized rules for the Section 45Y PTC & 48E ITC, effective today! The credits boost water power by ensuring eligibility for all forms, support new/upgraded projects, enable repowering under the 80/20 rule, and increase ITC value for incremental capacity! #hydro

Thanks to @volts.wtf for having NHA's Malcolm Woolf and Connor Nelson on the podcast to discuss #hydropower's benefits to the grid, and why it's at risk. Without new policy solutions, we could lose nearly 16GW of renewable energy, so lawmakers must act asap! Listen: www.volts.wtf/p/time-to-st...

Time to stop taking hydropower for granted?

A closer look at hydropower's essential role in enabling renewable energy growth, and the challenges it faces.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Interior announced an $849 million investment in U.S. water delivery systems across the West, supporting 77 projects across 11 states while improving #hydropower generation, water conveyance, and storage. View a complete list of projects here: on.doi.gov/3VtK8bH

Today, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office held the 2024 Patents for Humanity: #GreenEnergy Awards, honoring orgs. rising to #climatechange challenges via game-changing tech. Of the 8 winners, 3 were NHA members: - Emergy Inc - Hydrokinetic Energy Corp. - @natelfishsafe.bsky.social Congrats to all!

NHA signed an MOU with Marine Energy Wales to help grow and strengthen #MarineEnergy around the globe! This partnership allows both organizations to leverage resources & tackle barriers standing in the way of market growth, elevating marine energy as a robust commercial sector. lnkd.in/eJpfJgD8
