Description/Abstract | Licensing entanglements and challenges could end up hurting the local economies of several Northeastern states, as well as several companies looking to hydropower as a capacity source.^From its headwaters deep in the north words of Maine, through New Hampshire`s northernmost Coos County, to the Atlantic Ocean in Brunswick, Maine, the Androscoggin River constitutes about 3,500 square miles of drainage area.^Of the basin`s 50 dams, 47 have hydroelectric generators totaling about 250 megawatts, and the remaining three are at headwater lakes which play a key role in the hydroelectric feasibility of the downstream sites.^With five separate regulable lakes in its headwaters, the Androscoggin constitutes one of the best rivers for hydroelectric production in the United States.^This article describes the hydropower projects on the river, and their link to local companies and the economy.^Environmental challenges to relicensing of projects may damage the local economy if plants are not relicensed or are forced to spend too much to comply with regulations. |
