Hydro highlights: Practical innovation to improve flexibility in a decarbonized world

As energy demand increases, aging hydro infrastructure is presented with challenges such as increased stress, maintenance costs, and unique situations that require innovative solutions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that by 2025, 40% of the world’s hydropower output will be from countries with fleets that are more than 40 years old.

Now is a critical time for plant operators to consider modernization technologies to either maintain or increase performance to meet energy demand.

Join our panel discussion and Q&A featuring industry experts from GE Vernova as they shed light on the evolving challenges operators frequently face today and practical solutions that can help you adapt for the future, emphasizing the need for adaptability.
