Environmental Stewardship

Our commitment to protecting the environment is the foundation of our success.  By only selecting projects that can be built in an environmentally sound manner, we promote environmental stewardship and conserve value for our investors, our clients, and the public.

We design and build hydroelectric projects that promote:

• Protection of existing flow regimes
• Preservation or improvement of water quality
• Net benefits to local fish through screening, restoration and/or improved passage
• Transmission features that protect migratory birds
• Improvement of recreation facilities
• Protection of cultural resources
• Preservation of local visual features
• Water conservation
