Hydro Hall of Fame

The Hydro Hall of Fame recognizes exemplary hydro achievement throughout the world. There is an emphasis on long-lasting facilities. 

Hydro Review, the official media brand of HYDROVISION, has been inducting facilities into the Hydro Hall of Fame since 1995, designating legacy plants that have been in operation for 100 years or more. 

This prestigious group demonstrates the significant and long-lasting contributions of hydroelectric power generation plants, including emission-free generation, clean renewable power, and reliability. Past Inductees >>
