Quiver AI Summary
Legislative Push for Hydropower Bill: Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) and Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) have urged Speaker Mike Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to expedite the passage of their "Build More Hydro" bill (S. 1020/H.R. 2072). The letter highlights the bill's potential to extend construction deadlines for crucial hydropower projects nationwide.
Concerns Over Project Delays: Newhouse and Daines expressed fears that failure to pass this legislation could jeopardize 37 unconstructed hydropower projects across 15 states, which would threaten grid reliability and an estimated $6.5 billion in investments. They emphasize the importance of hydropower in supplying energy to over 30 million homes.
Next Steps for the Bill: The bill, which passed the Senate unanimously in July 2025, is now awaiting action in the House. Newhouse and Daines highlighted that with continued congressional inaction, more hydropower capacity risks being put on hold, which could affect energy security for communities.
