Enabling the green transition: The role of hydropower and our commitment to safety and diversity
Dear valued customers,
Welcome to the new issue of our HydroNews customer magazine.
As we navigate the evolving landscape of renewable energy, we are reminded of the critical role hydropower plays in our collective efforts to combat climate change. Hydropower stands as a cornerstone of sustainable energy; not only does it provide reliable Yours sincerely, Frédéric Sauze, Harald Heber, Gerhard Kriegler Enabling the green transition: The role of hydropower and our commitment to safety and diversity Frédéric Sauze Harald Heber Gerhard Kriegler energy, but it also offers significant benefits for balancing the intermittent nature of wind and solar power. With hydropower we are enabling the green transition – FOR THE CHANGE.
Pumped storage power plants are central to this vital objective as the largest bulk energy storage systems available today. They enable surplus renewable energy to be stored and released again when demand is high, thus ensuring a stable and resilient power grid. In addition, synchronous condensers are becoming increasingly important since they also help transmission system operators adapt to our changing world and new grid requirements. Collectively, these technologies improve grid stability and ensure that we can meet our energy needs sustainably.
Alongside our efforts to build a safer and more sustainable world, we also strive toward these same goals within our business. At the heart of what we do is our unwavering commitment to health and safety. The well-being of all employees is our top priority, especially on our construction sites where the risks are inherently higher. Our strict safety protocols and ongoing training programs ensure that all employees, partners, and all those who visit our sites return home safely and in good health every day.
We are also proud to champion diversity and inclusion within our industry. "Women in Hydropower" is not just a phrase to us, but a testament to our commitment to gender parity. As a responsible and forward-thinking company, we believe that fostering a diverse workforce is essential for long-term sustainable prosperity. By supporting women to succeed in all roles, we not only enrich our workplace but also drive innovation and progress.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in us. Together, we are making progress toward a more sustainable, equitable, and safer future.
Yours sincerely,
Frédéric Sauze, Harald Heber, Gerhard Kriegler
