1er Article Hydro

23 avril 2018

 

Hydro power is the first source of renewable electricity in France and represents around 10% of the electricity that is used on the territory. Small hydroelectricity counts by itself around 2500 power stations with power going from 30kW to 10MW.

This means of renewable energy production has historically been our core business. Today we operate fourteen hydro power plants for a total power of 17MW and a production of more than 65GWh a year, which corresponds to the annual consumption of 16000 French homes.

COMPANY EXPRIENCE & HYDRO POWER 

 

We have highly been specialised in hydro power for 50 years and particularly in the high falls with a savoir-faire that enables us to manage the whole development, finance, building, and operation processes of a project. The company wishes to develop and improve new-generation electromechanical machines by sharing experiences and communicating on a regular basis with the suppliers and designers.

As the head of the company and thanks to his passion for his job, Jean CAYROL relentlessly works to hand down his experience to his co-workers and his children in order to maintain internal and complete mastery of the required skills. The company is attached to be vigilant all year long and to manage any possible issue thanks to permanently available teams.

The social head office is located in Savoie (73) where the main technical centre related to hydroelectric facilities is also settled. The company works on the whole French territory where its facilities are spread.
