Summary
The FLOWS Act amends the Federal Power Act to streamline hydropower licensing and operations. It exempts hydropower licensees from obtaining federal approval for nonsubstantial alterations, routine maintenance, repairs, and temporary operational adjustments to existing projects. The bill also establishes an expedited licensing process for micro hydrokinetic energy projects (up to 5 megawatts) that convert energy from waves, tides, currents, or free-flowing water, with a one-year timeline for federal approval and categorical environmental exclusions for low-disturbance activities.
