Run-of-River
Run-of-river schemes, which are often constructed in the bed of large rivers, not only generate electricity, but also provide flood protection, contribute to tourism development, influences bed load and sediment transportation and sometimes guarantee shipping transport. It is thus no wonder that they are highly complex structures to construct.
Presenting economically sound concepts and meeting high ecological standards are every day commitment for Pöyry. We place special focus on:
