FY26 Annual Update to Fee Schedule for Use of Government Lands by Hydropower Licensees

FERC issued an annual amendment to the fee schedule for the use of government lands by hydropower licensees under the existing RM11-6 proceeding. The FY26 update adjusts the fees that hydropower licensees must pay for their use of federal lands under FERC licenses.

Hydropower licensees operating on government lands should review the updated fee schedule to ensure compliance with the new FY26 rates. This is a routine annual adjustment and does not represent a change in policy or methodology for calculating fees.
