The annual event features the entire French hydroelectric production ecosystem with the goal of finding innovative solutions.
BWI is extremely glad, through it’s team members Olivier Chazal (head of programs) and Mohamad Hamze (product owner) to be present at the 10th Rencontre de l’Hydroélectricité in the beautiful Ville de Beaune!
The event, featuring site visits, conferences and a professional forum, is organized by ADEME with the support of Puissance Hydro. Moreover, it is in association with the Burgundy-Franche-Comté Region, and brings together the entire French hydroelectric production ecosystem. This includes small hydro operators, large hydro players, industrial value chain suppliers, construction and civil engineering companies. In addition, hydraulic engineering and design firms, operating service operators, balance managers, investors, bankers, and regulators take part too.
