Happy #EarthDay! Today, and every day, NHA celebrates the planet and commits to being good stewards of our home, as well as connecting the communities we serve to Earth's beauty, which is why we're highlighting landscapes powered by #hydro, such as the solitude & recreation found on Lake Chelan, WA.

NHA is working to understand how newly announced #tariffs will affect U.S. #hydro operations:
- 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada & Mexico
- 10% tariff on energy resources from Canada
The impact on Canadian/U.S. hydro remains unclear, but we are concerned consumer costs could increase.
#Hydropower is an engineering marvel, with each project uniquely designed to meet an array of specifications. During #NationalEngineersWeek, NHA celebrates the engineers who ensure reliable #WaterPower and the students shaping its future. Their passion drives innovation and strengthens the industry.

Last week, Treasury and IRS finalized rules for the Section 45Y PTC & 48E ITC, effective today! The credits boost water power by ensuring eligibility for all forms, support new/upgraded projects, enable repowering under the 80/20 rule, and increase ITC value for incremental capacity! #hydro

Thanks to @volts.wtf for having NHA's Malcolm Woolf and Connor Nelson on the podcast to discuss #hydropower's benefits to the grid, and why it's at risk.
Without new policy solutions, we could lose nearly 16GW of renewable energy, so lawmakers must act asap!
