Hydro power plays an important role in Australia’s transition. As an on-demand electricity source, hydro power can help to stabilise the grid when other renewables, like wind and solar, aren’t generating power.

Hydro power is uniquely tied to the natural landscape, harnessing the power of water to generate electricity. As one of the oldest forms of renewable energy, hydro power remains a proven technology, and important to maintaining electricity reliability as Australia transitions to a renewable energy system.
