Project Development Services

Developing a reservoir storage scheme or complex run-of-river scheme involves starting projects from a sound basis. This requires a lot of initial technical input starting, for example, with adequate hydrological and geological data. In addition a well-designed scheme calls for a thought-out hydraulic concept and an optimised operational mode.
