While hydro has always been a renewable energy source, its role is now even more critical, as it complements intermittent power sources like solar and wind. As the renewable energy ecosystem expands, success will depend on the infrastructure that supports it.

How is Patel Engineering Limited helping in building a Renewable-Ready Infrastructure in India?

Patel Engineering Limited (PEL), a veteran in hydroelectric infrastructure and an emerging executor of pumped storage projects (the next frontier of energy storage), has a history spanning over 76 years. The company has executed more than 350 projects, many of which continue to contribute clean energy to the national grid.

While hydro has always been a renewable energy source, its role is now even more critical, as it complements intermittent power sources like solar and wind. This is because hydropower can be used to store energy during peak times and release it when needed, helping to smooth out the variable output of wind and solar.
