With the sun now set on the first day of #WaterPowerWeek2025, the highlights are still fresh in our minds. The day began with tours of some of Washington D.C.'s most notable sites, and even NHA's WPW sign went on a tour of its own around the National Mall, where it frolicked with the cherry blossoms and sampled both #hydro history and art. When the afternoon rolled around, attendees gathered for sessions like "A Collaborative Framework to Strengthen Your Workforce," which demoed "The Pathway Forward" tool, supporting workforce development in the energy sector. This session featured speakers and presenters from Kleinschmidt Associates, Renewables Forward, and KGS Group. Water Power Week, like the name suggests, covers a wide-range of water technology topics, and the session "Connecting the Ocean to the Grid: Key Infrastructure for Marine Energy," explored what's needed to achieve successful marine energy integration. The session was joined by speakers from 3U Technologies LLC, Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, ORPC, and PacWave. Today also featured sessions on critical energy issues shaping the world, such as the rapid expansion of data centers, which are fueling electricity demand with a projected 160% increase by 2030! To meet energy needs, behind-the-meter solutions are being studied, and hydro could be key in helping balance high-performance computing with grid resilience. The session "Baseload for the Digital Age: How Hydropower Can Support Data Center Expansion" featured speakers from Grant County Public Utility District, Emrgy Inc., Constellation, and Digital Power Optimization, Inc. The day concluded with "Office Hours," where attendees had the opportunity to meet with representatives from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Bureau of Land Management to discuss current priorities, chat, and network. With record-breaking attendance for tomorrow's Advocacy Day, the week is off to a strong start! #WPW25 #WaterPowerWeek #hydropower

The February issue of Hydro Leader is here! While much turbine manufacturing occurs overseas, the United States is home to a number of turbine manufacturers, especially innovative, specialized, and small-scale ones. In our cover story this month, we profile three of them. We speak with Vikram Pande, the director of supply chain for Emrgy, a pioneering modular hydropower manufacturer; Eric Melander, the vice president of sales at Canyon Hydro, a Washington State–based manufacturer that specializes in small- to medium-size systems; and Don Harris, who launched Harris Hydro on an amateur basis and turned it into a business, and Jerry Ostermeier, the owner of Alternative Power and Machine, a manufacturer of extremely small hydro systems, which ultimately acquired Harris Hydro. https://bit.ly/4130jA3 #HydroLeader #Hydro #Hydroelectricity #CanyonHydro #RenewableEnergy
