“A sustainable future is today’s global goal and clean, renewable, and reliable hydro power has a significant role in us achieving it. Over the decades, we have partnered with our customers to build 50 hydroelectric plants, producing the equivalent to 80% of the U.K.'s entire power demand. One of our most iconic projects, the Hoover Dam, built in the 1930s, is still producing more than 4 billion kilowatts of power each year, serving 1.3 million people.” - Shaun Kenny, Infrastructure President at Bechtel
