EPRI Calculates U.S. Riverine Hydrokinetic Potential at 3 Percent of Annual Electricity Demand

The results show that the Lower Mississippi region contributes almost half (47.9 percent) of the technically recoverable resource estimate; Alaska 17.1 percent, the Pacific Northwest region 9.2 percent, and, the Ohio region 5.7 percent. Collectively these four regions comprise 80 percent of the technically recoverable hydrokinetic resource in the continental United States.
