The Mission
Screen climate impacts and opportunities across 115+ hydropower assets and deliver a consistent decision framework.
The Solution
Tractebel developed a comprehensive methodology to score a wide range of risks across all assets and quantify the impacts of hydro-climatic changes, flood safety, and environmental effects. This included evaluating current assessment methods, testing the reliability of typical hydrological models under climate change scenarios, and developing innovative tools to address identified limitations. New approaches such as multi-hydrological modeling, dynamic weighting of calibrated models, and stochastic weather generators were introduced to enhance predictive accuracy.
The Impact
Common methodology, quantified vulnerabilities and practical adaptation pathways to support resilient operations and investments.
