Jordan Hydroelectric Project - 4.4 MW Hydroelectric Power Plant in the United States

The Jordan Hydroelectric Project is a hydroelectric power plant located in the United States, with a capacity of 4.4 MW. It is owned and operated by Jordan Hydroelectric LTD PTP and is currently operational. The facility contributes to the renewable energy mix in the region. As a hydroelectric facility, it utilizes the flow of water to generate electricity without direct fuel combustion, resulting in minimal air emissions. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category for hydroelectric power generation in the United States. Regulatory oversight for such facilities typically involves Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensing and compliance with environmental regulations under the Clean Water Act. The Jordan Hydroelectric Project plays a role in local grid stability and renewable energy generation. Its operation supports the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel-based power plants. The facility's location and design ensure it integrates with the surrounding environment while providing clean energy to the community.

Hydroelectric power generation has a low carbon footprint but can affect local aquatic ecosystems. The Jordan Hydroelectric Project's small capacity minimizes its environmental impact. The facility operates under FERC regulations, which include measures for fish passage and water quality management. Its location in the United States ensures compliance with the Clean Water Act and other environmental standards.
