Join the conversation on Protecting Communities and Hydroelectric Facilities with Financial Assurance Requirements. One of the 3 panels will examine the potential safety risks hydroelectric facilities face and how a financial assurance requirement could mitigate these risks. This will include examining project-specific risks (e.g., condition of project facilities), regional risks (e.g., changes to the project area since construction), and global risks (e.g., climate change).
The panel will also seek to answer: What are the impacts on communities and how should they be factored into the financial requirement?
