With more than 40% of the non-federal hydropower fleet due to be relicensed, I think by 2035. For that reason, Senator Daines and I, actually working together, introduced S. 3500, which is the Hydropower Licensing Transparency Act, and it requires annual FERC reports to Congress on pending projects and action plans.
