The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will host a Small/Low-Impact Hydropower Webinar on June 22, 2011, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The webinar will be open to the public and advance registration is required.

The purpose of this webinar is to provide guidance on what types of hydropower projects qualify as a conduit or a 5-megawatt (MW) exemption and the requirements for filing an application for these types of projects. Specifically, the webinar will provide the opportunity for participants to learn the differences between a conduit and a 5-MW exemption, find out what to do if a project does not qualify for an exemption, learn how to get more information and assistance from FERC staff, and ask questions.
