Hydro
Co-ops across the country have been using clean, renewable hydropower for more than 75 years. In addition to the roughly 10 gigawatts of hydropower purchased from federally-run dams, co-ops have developed an additional 692 megawatts of hydropower, mostly small hydro and run-of-the-river systems.
cooperatives in states utilize hydro as a source of power.
