Invest in a hydropower plant
France offers ideal conditions for hydropower, which is the country’s second-largest source of electricity and its leading source of renewable energy. Across the European Union, hydropower now accounts for over 40% of renewable electricity production. It is therefore a stable and essential energy source for our development.Choosing to invest in a hydropower plant means taking part in tomorrow’s great challenges while making a sustainable investment.

What is hydropower?
- Hydroelectric energy is a form of renewable energy generated by harnessing the kinetic force of moving water. As water flows, it transfers mass and produces mechanical energy, which can then be converted into electricity.
- A hydroelectric plant applies this principle by using turbines connected to generators that transform the mechanical energy of water into clean electricity. Various types of installations harness hydropower — such as dams, mills, and micro power plants.
Reliable, stable, and well-controlled production
- Human expertise in hydropower ensures efficiency and safety, with relatively low operating costs.
- Hydroelectric plants can deliver a steady and continuous electricity supply, as water flow can be adjusted to meet demand.
A responsible investment contributing to the energy transition
- Energy produced from moving water — like solar and wind power — is a clean, renewable source. Representing about 16% of global electricity production, hydropower plays a key role in shaping the world’s evolving energy mix.
- By investing in the construction of a hydroelectric plant, you’re making a reliable renewable energy investment — and above all, taking direct action for the climate and a sustainable future.
An attractive investment opportunity — why?
- Hydropower investment allows you to diversify your portfolio with a sustainable and profitable asset.
- Hydropower projects are offered as simple bonds, typically providing a gross return of 7% to 9.5% per year over an average duration of three years.
- Give purpose to your savings while enjoying attractive returns.

This form of energy is produced by harnessing the movement of water — whether natural or controlled. As water flows, it transfers mass and generates mechanical energy, which can then be converted into electricity.
Hydropower is considered a green or clean energy source. What does that mean? It comes from resources whose use produces little to no harmful effects on the environment or human health. Since it relies on natural resources that are constantly renewed and never depleted, it is classified as renewable energy.
Investing in hydropower allows you to benefit from:
- A growing market
- Attractive returns
- Optimal diversification of your investment portfolio
- A clear commitment to a greener future
- A positive environmental impact in the fight against climate change
Other available technologies
Energy storage investment finances infrastructure designed to store electricity — particularly from renewable sources — for later use. Lithium-ion batteries, pumped storage or thermal solutions: these projects play a key role in grid stability and are essential to accelerating the energy transition.
