Crown Hydro - So Little at Such Great Cost - #NoCrownHydro

Just 3.4 megawatts per hour of capacity.

The Crown Hydro facility is expected to function at 60% capacity, barely enough to power anywhere between 1500-2000 homes. This represents less than 1.5% of the occupied households in Minneapolis (based on 2000 census data), 0.4% of households in Hennepin County, and 0.1% of households in Minnesota. By contrast updating current hardware could yield 12 to 20 megawatts at both a lower cost and risk.

“It is simply outrageous that the Legislature would even attempt to override the decisions of local government, in this case the Park Board, and compel both the sale of public land and the planning approvals required for a private developer for their private development”
- City Council Member Lisa Goodman (7th Ward)
