Description (excerpt):
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) released its 2022–2023 Accomplishments Report, which showcases more than 40 hydropower and marine energy successes from WPTO-funded projects at DOE national laboratories, companies, and academic institutions across the country.
Hydropower and marine energy depend on the movement and flow of water and are generally predictable and reliable. This makes them well-suited to help balance an electricity grid with higher levels of variable renewable energy like wind and solar. These resources are also important in achieving a clean electricity sector by 2035 and a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050.
