GE Vernova's Hydro Power business designs, develops, manufactures, and services advanced technologies that harness the power of water to deliver reliable and sustainable power. For more than a century, hydropower has played an essential role in the North American and global electricity systems.

But to reach net-zero globally by 2050, we need to double the amount of hydro currently installed. Whether it's through pumped storage, run-of-river, or by upgrading the existing installed base, hydropower will continue to be a cornerstone of North America's energy future.
