Introducing Pacific Hydro
Pacific Hydro is one of the world's leading clean
energy independent power producers. We have the vision,
capability and commitment to bring clean energy projects and
premium carbon abatement products and services to our customers
across the globe.
We currently have 1,934 megawatts (MW) of hydro power and wind
farm projects at varying stages of development, construction and
operation in Australia, Chile, Brazil, Fiji and the
Philippines.
We are also active in the booming carbon market, with proven
success in the production and trading of carbon credits from our
run-of-river hydro projects registered under the Clean Development
Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.
Our innovative clean energy projects not only benefit the
environment and our communities,
but also deliver significant value to our partners and
investors.
Wind and water may drive our power stations, but it's our vision
of powering a cleaner world that drives us.
Our renewable energy projects abate an estimated 1.6
million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution every year
