required for submission of application 

information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005; 

Pub. L. 109–58), Congress established a 

new program to support the expansion 

of hydropower energy development at 

existing dams and impoundments 

through an incentive payment 

procedure. Under Section 242 of EPAct 

2005, the Secretary of Energy is directed 

to provide incentive payments to the 

owner or authorized operator of 

qualified hydroelectric facilities for 

energy generated and sold by a qualified 

hydroelectric facility for a specified 10- 

year period (See 42 U.S.C. 15881). The 

2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act 

authorized funding for the Section 242 

program for conventional hydropower 

under EPAct 2005. In FY 2018, DOE 

allocated $6.6M for this purpose. 

Recently DOE made minor updates to 

clarify its Guidance for the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 Section 242. The 

Guidance is available at: https://

www.energy.gov/eere/water/downloads/ 

federal-register-notice-epact-2005- 

section-242-hydroelectric-incentive-0. 

Each application will be reviewed based 

on the Guidance. DOE has updated its 

Guidance to clarify eligible 

rehabilitation on existing facilities that 

have been offline because of disrepair or 

dismantling for at least five consecutive 

years immediately prior to October 1, 

2005 and returning online with new 

hydroelectric power on or before 

September 30, 2015 (see the second of 

three qualifications in Section III). DOE 

also updated its Guidance to reemphasize the statutory deadline by 

which new hydropower generation must 

be placed into operation at a nonpowered or powered dam as on or after 

October 1, 2005 and on or before 

September 30, 2015 (see Section IV). 

DOE notes that applicants that received 

incentive payments for prior calendar 

years must submit a full application 

addressing all eligibility requirements 

for hydroelectricity generated and sold 

in calendar year 2017. As authorized 

under Section 242 of EPAct 2005, and 

as explained in the Guidance, DOE also 

notes that it will only accept 

applications from qualified 

hydroelectric facilities that began 

operations at an existing dam or conduit 

during the inclusive period beginning 

October 1, 2005, and ending on 

September 30, 2015. Therefore, although 

DOE is accepting applications for full 

calendar year 2017 production, the 

qualified hydroelectric facility must 

have begun operations starting October 

1, 2005, through September 30, 2015, for 

DOE to consider the application. 

When submitting information to DOE 

for Section 242 program, it is 

recommended that applicants carefully 

read and review the completed content 

of the Guidance for this process. When 

reviewing applications, DOE may 

corroborate the information provided 

with information that DOE finds 

through FERC e-filings, contact with 

power off-taker, and other due diligence 

measure carried out by reviewing 

officials. DOE may require the applicant 

to conduct and submit an independent 

audit at its own expense, or DOE may 

conduct an audit to verify the number 

of kilowatt-hours claimed to have been 

generated and sold by the qualified 

hydroelectric facility and for which an 

incentive payment has been requested 

or made. 

Issued in Washington, DC on June 13, 

2018.

Power, Energy Efficiency and Renewable
