Digital maintenance for sustainable
and flexible operation of HYDROpower plant

Project overview & mission

Di-Hydro is a European-funded project committed to advancing the potential of hydropower (HP) plants and clusters in alignment with the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement.
The mission is to revolutionise the way hydropower plants operate, making them smarter, more efficient,
and environmentally conscious.

At Di-Hydro, our vision is to empower sustainable energy production through the development of cutting-edge digital and smart decision-making tools for hydropower plants, regardless of their digitisation level,
ensuring they play a pivotal role in a greener future.
