The needs of our clients in the power sector are changing rapidly, with factors such as the rise of distributed generation and the growing demand for sustainability impacting how they make decisions and plan for the future. Hydropower owners recognize the value of their existing hydro assets both from a cost of production and carbon-free generation perspective. With Kleinschmidt as your partner, you can be assured that your project will be staffed with a team that is knowledgeable and has expertise in your particular needs and their priority is bringing your project in on time, within budget.
We help our hydro owning clients to prepare their hydroelectric facilities to last for the next 50-100 years by assessing dam and structural safety, potential mechanical upgrades, and working to help secure new operational licenses from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
