Hydropower Optimization Increases Energy Production at Corps Plants
Aging hydroelectric generating units operated by the District at Dams in Kentucky and Tennessee have gone well beyond their typical design life of 35-40 years and are in much need of rehabilitation. Engineers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District are focused on a plan to revitalize and rehabilitate the units in the next 20 years. (USACE photo by Mark Rankin)
