| National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) | U.S. Hydropower Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities | This report shares findings from research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office as part of an NREL-led project—Water Power Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to Workforce—which has the goal of developing tools and programs to strengthen the water power workforce pipeline. The report also provides an update on U.S. hydropower workforce trends as a follow-on to NREL’s 2019 report, Workforce Development for U.S. Hydropower: Key Trends and Findings . Recent data from NREL’s and the Hydropower Foundation’s survey efforts and the hydropower industry are also presented. | Link |
| National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Center for the New Energy Economy | Workforce Development for U.S. Hydropower: Key Trends and Findings | The purpose of this report is to provide a brief assessment of the current U.S. hydropower industry workforce and educational programs, as well as potential future hydropower workforce needs. This report is based on data collected in 2016 for the U.S. Department of Energy by Navigant Consulting and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which included a 2014 survey of hydropower employers to assess future workforce needs for potential growth scenarios. | Link |
| U.S. Department of Energy | Hydropower Vision Report | Through the Hydropower Vision, the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office has led a first-of-its-kind comprehensive analysis to evaluate future pathways for low-carbon, renewable hydropower (hydropower generation and pumped storage) in the United States, focused on continued technical evolution, increased energy market value, and environmental sustainability. This report includes information on the hydropower workforce. | Link |
