  • The hydro power of tomorrow

For 70 years, EDF has been designing, building, renovating and operating one of Europe's largest hydroelectric plants. What we needed to claim a unique international expertise.

Hydroelectric production : technical and environmental know-how

On a technical level, EDF's two hydroelectric engineering units are involved in the entire production chain, both upstream (feasibility studies, construction, rehabilitation, etc.) and downstream (operation, monitoring of hydro-meteorological forecasts, etc.). On an environmental level, EDF specialists provide expertise in hydrology, sedimentology, the conservation of rivers, and aquatic biology.
