The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) has announced two winners of the Groundbreaking Hydro Prize, which challenged innovators to come up with new solutions to support hydropower project development by starting at square one — the foundation.
On March 4, MISO filed a request to extend the deadline to implement a market participation model for electric storage resources at FERC.
