Overview
This dataset complements the fifth complete edition of the U.S. Hydropower Market Report (2026 PowerPoint edition; Johnson and Uría-Martínez, 2026) and focuses on updated data from 2023–2025 and contextualizes this information compared to evolving high-level trends over the past 10–20 years. It contains data on U.S. hydropower (and pumped storage hydropower) development pipeline, relicenses, license surrenders, performance metrics, and supply chain.
This report updates the datasets included in previous editions and adds the following new content:
-Potential demand for key hydropower components (Section 6.4)
-Relicensing process durations (Section 1.4.3)
-FERC authorization process durations for new projects (Section 2.3)
-Contribution of hydropower and PSH to grid reliability (Section 5.7)
-U.S. hydropower supply chain manufacturing capabilities (Section 6.1)
