Hydropower faces increasing uncertainty as climate change alters hydrological patterns and intensifies extreme weather events. At the same time, plants are expected to operate more flexibly while meeting stricter environmental and regulatory requirements. We are looking for solutions that strengthen the resilience of hydropower assets and fleets under these evolving boundary conditions. The focus is on enabling safe, reliable, and economically viable operation despite changing inflows, higher variability, and more frequent stress scenarios. Innovative approaches should help operators anticipate risks, adapt operating strategies, and protect long‑term performance and availability. The objective is to ensure that hydropower remains a dependable and sustainable pillar of future energy systems, capable of delivering value over decades even as climatic and environmental conditions continue to change.
