Hydro Power
Hydro Power
Using the flow of water to generate electricity, hydro power is a stable, flexible source of energy. As water can be kept in reservoirs, the production of energy can be controlled, while costs are comparatively low. With production being able to respond in real-time to changing demands in a relatively short amount of time, hydro power can help overcome various challenges, such as increased demand during peak consumption hours and power outages, making this form of energy generation extremely useful.
It can be an effective supplementary source of energy in the future, too, complementing wind and solar power, which generate power intermittently as they are weather-dependent. While we are innovating to improve the storage of energy from these renewables, hydro power will be instrumental in the global transition to clean energy from fossil fuels.
Inside the power stations, the flowing water drives a turbine, generating mechanical energy that is transformed into electrical energy for general consumption. Many of our hydro-power projects are located consecutively on a single waterway, allowing us to maximize power generation from a single source.
At Access Energy Technology Limited, hydro power is a core component of our sustainable energy strategy. As countries accelerate their adoption of renewables to overcome rising power prices and geopolitical instability, clean, flexible energy solutions that can rapidly respond to changing demands are vital.
We are suitably positioned to meet this demand through our growing ability to deliver a consistent supply of hydro power, with our portfolio including various hydro-power operations around the world that are already supporting populations. And as we look to the future, with more projects slated to begin operations in 2030, our ambitious growth targets are set to be realized.
Our well-established market-centric approach continues to see us invest in innovative technologies and expand our presence around the globe, incorporating new technologies and advancements to produce unrivaled efficiency and productivity. Providing our customers with clean energy through the assets we operate, we are continually working towards a net zero carbon future.
