Environmental protection as part of the corporate philosophy

Responsible hydropower management

  • Ensuring the ecological continuity of rivers: Installation of fish ladders and fish flow-systems and otter paths
  • Site-adapted minimum water regulation
  • Disposal of waste from floating debris
  • Long-term protection of water as a habitat
  • The introduction and application of an environmental management system at all locations was certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2015

Economy meets ecology

  • Successful and sustainable management of hydropower plants takes into account the ecological framework conditions and their social benefits
  • High initial investments combined with the implementation of environmental protection measures stand in the way of a century’s worth of CO₂-free electricity generation

For the good of the environment

  • Modern and virtually emission-free technology leaves a very low ecological footprint
  • Optimal integration into the landscape conditions of small and medium-sized hydropower plants to protect water bodies and the landscape
  • Support for species and aquatic biotope protection e.g. river regulation and thus preservation of existing bodies of water, deliberate prevention of invasive species from gaining access to protect fish populations
  • Support for the UN Sustainable Development Goals
