The Northwest cannot meet its decarbonization, clean energy goals, and growing energy needs without hydropower. Not only does hydropower provide enough clean, reliable, and low-cost power to meet the region’s demand, it’s a perfect partner for other renewables because it can respond quickly to shifts in wind and solar power generation. #hydroelectric #power #decarbonization

Small hydropower is a game-changer for farmers, saving money and increasing productivity, while also keeping more water in the river for the benefit of fish. This smaller type of hydropower development means clean energy with little or no environmental impact. #nwha #northwestenergy #hydropower

As we move to a clean energy future free of fossil fuels, we will need reliable energy batteries that store renewables (like wind and solar) and release the energy when it’s needed. Pumped storage hydropower, solar, wind, and large-scale batteries can jointly play a significant role in providing grid resiliency and will be relied on more and more in our clean energy future. #nwha2024 #cleanenergy #solar #wind

State water rights are a major consideration for hydropower operators in our region. Please join NWHA as we host a state water rights update and discussion on October 8th from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at Clean Currents. This workshop is in direct response to members needs and is complimentary to attend in conjunction with CleanCurrents.org. #northwestenergy #renewableenergy #cleancurrents

Clean Currents is coming to Portland from October 7-10, and NWHA is proud to be the host association supporting NHA at this major event. Visit us at booth #1355 to connect with members, friends, and explore the latest innovations in hydropower and renewable energy. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn more about the future of clean energy! For more info: www.cleancurrents.org #CleanCurrents #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy

Hydropower is the oldest, most proven renewable energy that continues to provide carbon-free electricity 24/7/365. Today’s advanced pumped storage hydropower enables a carbon-free grid. #northwesthydro #pacificnorthwesthydro

Water from the Columbia River system irrigates about 1,393,000 acres of land to harvest crops like grains, alfalfa, fruits and vegetables, and provides the foundation for the Northwest wine industry.? https://lnkd.in/dAEjfaU4 #greenenergy #waterpower #dampower

A portion of everyone’s electric bills in the Northwest goes toward salmon habitat conservation or enhancement. #nwha2024 #renewableenergy #salmon
