INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLE ENERGY

INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLE ENERGY

Investments in renewable energy continue to increase each year, showing investors‘ strong commitment to address climate change and support measures to reduce carbon impact.

Tariffs supporting formulas are promoting heavy investments in the renewables sector.

Hydropower offers many advantages, resulting in its significant role in the global renewable energy mix:

Long lifetime of 40-80 years and more, therefore a bankable long lasting technology.

Stable cash flow due to high predictability of production, therefore also usable for baseload
operation and contracts.

Reliability and proven technology.

Large storage capacity (water is the only efficient storage medium).

Low operating and maintenance costs.

Low correlation with other renewable energies (typical correlation coefficient of below 0.3 compared to wind and solar) – complementary investments possible.
