Hydropower relicensing projects

Font Size: A | A | A

Eighty percent of California's hydropower dams are regulated through 30-50 year licenses issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Half of those facilities are scheduled to be relicensed in the next 15 years, presenting a rare opportunity for Californians to upgrade project operations and design to reduce impacts to our rivers, and restore fish and wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities.

CHRC has compiled a number of resources to promote and assist public participation in the relicensing process.
