Within this article: Details on a variety of U.S. and Canadian hydropower projects set to kick off through the end of the year, including federally and municipally funded projects in the U.S., provincially funded projects in Canada, and projects from industry leaders such as Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:DUK).
