The Untapped Clean Energy Frontier
THE OPPORTUNITY
The asset base: Over 55,000 existing unpowered low-level dams across the United States.
The power potential: Converting the top 3% (~1,500 sites) can supply electricity equivalent to 10 million American homes.
The concentrated target: The top 100 dam locations represent roughly 40% of untapped national capacity potential.
