Hydroelectric energy
We provide clean, affordable and reliable energy, transitioning to a climate-neutral economy.
Hydroelectricity
We can identify three types of hydroelectric uses
Hydroelectric energy is generated by using a body of water, directing it to the power plant where turbines convert mechanical energy (both potential and kinetic) into electrical energy.
01_
Regulation plants
A certain amount of water is stored using a dam on a riverbed and is used during periods of peak demand in the electrical system.
02_
Run-of-river plants
They generate electricity continuously as long as there is water flow available in the riverbed.
03_
Pumped-storage or reversible plants
Water is pumped to higher elevations during periods of electricity surplus and later used during times of peak demand in the system.
