Federal energy regulators would report yearly on pending hydropower licenses.
This bill would require federal energy regulators to send Congress a yearly report on hydropower licenses that have been pending for at least three years. This change aims to provide more transparency on these long-pending energy projects, affecting existing and potential hydropower developers, as well as various government agencies.
Today, federal energy regulators are not required to provide Congress with regular reports on the status of hydropower license applications. If this bill becomes law, these regulators would need to send Congress a detailed report every year, specifically covering applications that have been waiting for at least three years.
