Hydroelectricity

GIRUS is located close to the cradle of hydropower. Is this link the driving force behind the keen interest shown teams of engineers in water-related issues? Probably, although it also stems from the alliance of professions involved in hydropower generation projects that our teams are always willing to share. The alliance between energy and water, which is both simple and ancestral, currently requires technical know-how and allowance for environmental factors. We are eager to stick to the task of making water a leading energy reference.
