SUGAR LAND--July 2, 2015--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Non-powered dams (NPD), those that currently do not produce electricity, offer the potential to greatly increase the contribution that hydroelectric dams make to the U.S. power supply. Turning such dams into electricity producers could boost the share of hydropower in the nation's energy mix. In North America, Industrial Info is tracking 540 hydroelectric power projects valued at $92.38 billion.
