Running on Water
Hydropower plants use the hydrologic cycle to convert potential energy from flowing water into electrical energy. Hydropower is able to swiftly accommodate rapid changes in demand, making it a flexible generation source.
Through year-end 2024, approximately 8% of Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s owned and contracted renewable generation capacity came from hydroelectric projects. In addition to powering households and businesses, these facilities provide public recreation opportunities for visitors to enjoy.
