What we do

One partner, from the river to the grid

Hydroneo takes run-of-river hydropower projects across their full lifecycle. We combine French engineering expertise with local technical teams to build assets that last and generate clean power for decades.

PHASE 01

Development

From site identification by river screening through investigations, feasibility studies, permitting and financial close.

PHASE 02

Construction

From financial close to commercial operation date, managing engineering, procurement and construction to spec and to schedule.

PHASE 03

Operation

From commercial operation to the end of the power purchase agreement, running plants with local operation and maintenance teams.
