Hailed as one of the most common sources of renewable energy, hydroelectric power projects—such as conventional dams, run-of-the-river or pumped storage—represent unique growth opportunities. For developers and investors, hydroelectric power projects represent, at a time of increasing demand for clean energy, opportunities for the diversification of energy portfolios.

The location of hydroelectric projects—home to aquatic fauna and flora—entails, in itself, its fair share of specific challenges, whether environmental, regulatory, political or social.
