Trusted Hydropower Developer & Operator
Whether it is the approval, design and construction of a utility-scale hydropower project or an operating and maintenance partner, Ameresco can guide customers through the entire process, from government and community approval to implementation, ownership and operation.
Hydropower is a renewable energy source that generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing or falling water. This process involves using a dam to control water flow, which then spins turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
While the construction and maintenance of hydropower projects can be an expensive undertaking, we can help to identify financing for the project by using the long-term revenue stream as funding by a production guarantee on the system.
With decades of experience in meeting the challenges surrounding energy projects involving public and private lands, our energy services specialists work with state governments, utility companies, private land owners and surrounding communities to navigate the bureaucracy and public concerns inherent in developing utility-scale hydropower projects.
