Run-of-the-River Hydroelectric Power Webinar

Online

The Redwood Coast Energy Authority invites the public to a free online presentation by RCEA consultant Michael Furniss about the potential of small-scale, run-of-the-river hydroelectric power for the North Coast. Two sessions will be offered on Tuesday, December 7, the first at 10-11 a.m. with a repeat at 5:30 p.m. Both one-hour webinars will include time afterward for attendees to ask questions. Register for both the morning and evening zoom webinars at https://redwoodenergy.org/events/ RCEA is launching a regional effort to facilitate the development of small hydroelectric projects “done right”, and we are ready to discuss any questions you may have, such as: Why is hydropower needed when solar is now so widely available and inexpensive? How will fish be protected if you are diverting water from streams to make electricity? Won’t development of watersheds cause impacts to water and ecosystem? What are the Best Practices for hydropower development? For systems that cannot be feasibly connected to the grid, how will this project help? How will landowners and investors be incentivized to develop small hydropower? Why hasn’t more hydropower been developed so far? What does RCEA expect to get from this effort? How does small hydro fit into RCEA’s power portfolio?
