The Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) is hosting virtual Hydropower Coffee Hour events to discuss and answer questions about the five Connecticut River hydropower facilities that applied for renewed operating licenses. The facilities include the Turners Falls Dam and Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage in Massachusetts, and the Wilder, Bellows Falls, and Vernon Dams in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Once they are issued, the licenses for these facilities will be in place for the next 30 to 50 years and impact more than 175 miles of the Connecticut River.

These events are devoted to question & answer. Each event has a unique topic to guide the conversation, but any questions related to the relicensing are welcome.
