Operators were concerned – when hydropower can no longer be relied upon

Date:

Lack of precipitation and little melting snow are major headaches for domestic energy companies. Because if there is no water, rivers carry less and less water. Operators are therefore already looking for alternatives.

For a long time, hydropower was regarded as the miracle weapon in the energy transition. But climate change and longer dry spells are an increasing problem. Due to the low water levels in the local rivers, the power plants can no longer produce as much electricity as they used to. But the operators are also noticing a decline at the remaining hydroelectric power plants. The Kelag alone produced 17.1 percent less electricity last year than in 2021.
