Path to Clean Energy is a program of the National Hydropower Association. Despite being one of the largest generators of clean, renewable energy, sometimes hydropower gets overlooked. Yet, hydropower is essential to a reliable, carbon-free electricity grid. We encourage you to sign up for our Path to Clean Energy newsletter, and join us for our virtual events.

VIRTUAL EVENT: Riding Waves, Currents & Tides: Advancements in Marine Energy
In celebration of World Oceans Day on June 8 at 2:00 PM ET, the National Hydropower Association in partnership with Marine Renewables Canada will be hosting a Path to Clean Energy Virtual Event, “Riding Waves, Currents & Tides: Advancements in Marine Energy.”
World Oceans Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on marine energy technologies (wave, tidal, ocean current, ocean thermal, and riverine) – North America’s next-gen renewable.
Marine energy is believed to be the missing link for meeting North America’s clean energy goals and decarbonizing the electricity grid as it has the potential to power hundreds of millions of homes.
