FME RenewHydro - Norwegian Research Centre for Renewal of Hydropower Technology
RenewHydro aims to develop knowledge and solutions that enable flexible hydropower to support the realization of energy transition and achieve national energy, climate, and environmental goals.
The significant strength of hydropower lies in its ability to be stored. It can balance both production and consumption across months and seasons, which is crucial for expanding and integrating variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
Within RenewHydro, researchers in technology, biology, and economics collaborate with experts from the hydropower industry and administration to address key challenges in the energy field. We strive to develop solutions for a low-emission society and enhance business innovation. The RenewHydro team combines cutting-edge science with deep insights provided by user partners, uniquely positioning us to drive innovation within the Norwegian hydropower industry and facilitate knowledge exchange with international partners.
