Voucher Opportunity 6: Hydropower Testing Network (HyTN)
This program provides financial support to U.S.-based developers of hydropower technologies, enabling them to access testing facilities that will help improve their innovations and accelerate commercialization.
The Hydropower Testing Network (HyTN) Program, also known as "heighten," seeks to advance the readiness of hydropower innovations by connecting U.S.-based technology developers with testing facilities to conduct physical testing. The goal is to help developers increase commercialization potential and technical readiness. Vouchers ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 will be distributed as in-kind support, covering services at facilities that provide lab-based testing for hydropower technologies. The program targets technology developers working on hydropower-related innovations like powertrain equipment, repair processes, and environmental mitigation technologies. Testing services will help reduce costs, risks, and time while improving performance and durability. This voucher opportunity is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office, the Office of Technology Transitions, and ENERGYWERX.
