Our competitive edge

In an increasingly competitive market place, Pacific Hydro's strong reputation, expertise, and innovative culture set us apart.

Our experience, knowledge and international presence enable us to identify key markets ahead of the competition, while our management structure allows us to move quickly to capture and realise opportunities.

We are pioneers of the Australian and Brazilian wind markets, while in Chile, we are paving the way with new run-of-river hydro opportunities. When we negotiated the sale of the Kyoto Protocol Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) from our Fijian hydro projects in June 2005, we achieved another first: the world's first bank-intermediated carbon credit deal.

Our business acumen teamed with our technological expertise means we're able to successfully assess, design, develop, construct, manage and operate innovative industry-leading projects worldwide.

We consider the relationships we form with our stakeholders as the foundation to our success. Whether we're working with governments, business partners and customers, or fostering positive relationships with our lenders, landholders and local communities, we approach every aspect of our business in a spirit of cooperation, open communication and consultation.

Our key customers who include Argyle Diamonds (Ord Hydro), Origin Energy (Victorian Wind), CODELCO (Chilean Hydro) and Eletrobrás (Brazil Wind) greatly value the mutually rewarding relationships we've built with them.

With the financial backing of our owner we are able to apply our competitive strengths to a wider range of opportunities in both the clean energy and carbon trading markets.
