The California Hydropower Reform Coalition submits these comments
on the proposed 2010 Renewable Electricity Standard. We support
ARB's draft RES which has no changes to existing definitions of
renewable resources, especially for hydropower. PG&E recommends
changing the definition to allow eligibility for out-of-state
run-of-river hydro up to 50 MW. Doing so would result in extensive
damage to rivers in British Columbia, which is the primary location
of out-of-state run-of-river hydro, and would mean a protective
hydro standard for California and a lesser standard for
out-of-state hydro.
