The French Alps are Europe’s No. 1 hydroelectric hub. They are home to an unrivalled density of facilities, as well as all the skills and companies needed to master this energy of the future, one of the few industrial sectors in which France retains sovereignty.

Under the aegis of Hydro 21, this dynamic ecosystem now includes more than a hundred members, operating in four key business sectors:

• Engineering: Design and construction of major facilities, civil engineering structures and technical and economic studies.
• Research and training: Development of new skills and technologies to meet the challenges of hydropower.
• Manufacturing: PProduction and integration of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical equipment.
• Operations: Management and maintenance of hydropower facilities, as well as energy, information and control systems.
