This Basin-Scale Relicensing Opportunity interactive web map can assist users in identifying favorable areas for basin-wide collaboration among projects using metrics derived from anticipated Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing dates. The web map provides FERC relicensing dates and metrics at the facility level and at the river reach level. Key metrics provided include the anticipated FERC relicensing year, average FERC relicensing date of facilities within a river reach, the number of hydropower dams within a river reach, and the number of facility owners within a river reach.
