Large Hydro

Hydropower solutions can be more reliable than other renewable options, and with their generating components engineered to last many years, they can be simpler to maintain and service.

Larger scale hydropower stations (run-of-river, dams or reservoir storage), can also help to develop a whole range of infrastructure facilities. The hydropower industry has continually raised the bar as to what constitutes good stewardship and acceptable practices in using resources for hydro development.

Multi-purpose dams, which besides providing electricity also ensure drinking water and irrigation, can bring significant improvements to the local economy. Hydropower facilities can also contribute to enhancing shipping conditions on rivers and to improving river conditions by removing and properly disposing of huge amounts of waste accumulated in the water, as well as reducing flooding and providing recreation and tourism opportunities.
