Verbund AG – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbund
One of Europe largest hydro power producer, 90% of their energy production is in hydro power.
Thanks, I’ve added it.
In Italy there is a small company, Iniziative Bresciane, exclusively focused on hydroplants in the Alps
Great find, thanks!
Hydro One is only transmission and distribution. Algonquin, Transalta, and Transalta Renewables all have hydro assets.
Thanks for the catch on Hydro One, Arthur. As for the others, I wan’t hydro to be a significant part of a company’s business- enough so that it can drive financial results- to make the list. I left AQN out because it’s mostly a distribution and water utility (less than 15% of revenues are from power generation, and only a fraction of that is hydro.) Transalta Renewables (RNW.TO) is only 5% hydro, not enough to make the list. I have not looked at Transalta’s assets recently, but last time I looked they were a lot heavier on the fossil fuels than RNW.TO.
Makes sense. I wonder if there are pure play hydro turbine or dam builders with publicly traded stock out there.

Thanks, added.
