Summary
The Rural Jobs and Hydropower Expansion Act rewrites the Reclamation Project Act so non‑federal entities can build hydropower at all Reclamation water projects, not just small conduits. It creates definitions for facilities that stay under federal control or are handed to private operators, and it extends the life of related FERC permits. The change is intended to spur rural jobs and increase renewable energy output.
