Quotes
Because of the phasing out of energy sources like coal and the rapid growth of variable wind and solar, the need for pumped hydro storage is greater than ever
Malcolm Turnbull
Former Prime Minister of Australia
To decarbonize the global energy system, hydropower must scale up to help fill the hole left by coal and other fossil fuels.
Eddie Rich
Chief Executive, International Hydropower Association
We know we can make a big difference – we know there are big projects that need to be done and other small-scale projects, and we know what the problem is, the problem is putting it together with the right financing and the right regulatory framework and underwriting the political risks
