Is Your Plant in Brazil Prepared for ANEEL’s New SMI Regulations? 🚨 This conversation began more than 10 years ago when companies focused on best practices in hydropower operations realized there were no incentives for being 'good players'. ⏩ Fast forward to now, ANEEL’s Resolution 1.085/2024, also known as the Unavailability Measurement System (SMI), was launched a few months ago, with the effective start date set for May 1st, 2025. The SMI will require hydropower plants to meet new operational reporting standards, with non-compliance leading to significant penalties. As the deadline approaches, you need a solution that ensures compliance and optimizes operations. HYDROGRID has you covered! 💪 Our platform empowers you to: 1. Minimize losses, maximize efficiency: Accurately forecast inflows and optimize water use to reduce spillage and avoid penalties. 2. Stay compliant effortlessly: Automate adherence to ANEEL’s SMI requirements, including operational, regulatory, and environmental constraints, while integrating best practices for hydropower operations. #Hydropower #ComplianceMadeEasy #ANEEL #HYDROGRID

💡Innovation in Hydropower: Insights from the National Hydropower Association’s California Regional Meeting   Our very own David Heckenberg recently attended  NHA’s regional California meeting, where he shared and gathered valuable insights on the future of hydropower. Here are some key takeaways from the region: 💡Workforce Challenges: With many professionals retiring and fewer young people entering the field, the industry faces a staffing shortage. The allure of better-paying software jobs and remote work options is a significant factor. 💡Energy Needs: There’s an increasing demand for more electricity and greater flexibility in energy sources. 💡Market Concerns: Compared to other energy markets, CAISO’s pricing is more complex and demanding, but it also provides more opportunities for revenue growth. Operators are tuning in to the opportunities of using CAISO’s negative energy pricing. 💡Extreme Weather: As extreme weather events become more frequent, safety protocols are tightening, but there’s uncertainty about how to handle these events effectively. David’s experience highlights the top challenges and opportunities in the region and beyond. If you're keen to address these challenges head-on, reach out! #SmartHydro #Hydropower #Insight #Event #CAISO #Powermarket #Trends

⚡ Hydropower Digitalization: Regional Challenges and Opportunities Hydropower digitalization has the potential to modernize plants around the world, but each region faces unique challenges. 🌍 Europe: With one of the most agile and competitive power markets, Europe is experiencing a rapid rise in negative power price hours, driven by solar and wind. 🌎 South America: Hydropower plants primarily operate in state-regulated markets with guaranteed pricing, but new liberalized options are emerging, providing more flexibility. 🌎 North & Central America: This region has vast hydropower potential—160GW in Canada, 65GW in the US, and 20GW in Mexico. The focus here is shifting towards refurbishment rather than new greenfield projects. 📄 Want to dive deeper?

🌊 In December, David Heckenberg will join the conversation at the California Regional Meeting organized by the National Hydropower Association (NHA). 📍 Location: Sheraton Redding Hotel 🗓️ Date: 10 - 12 Dec, 2024 The event is set to bring together hydropower leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to discuss the future of sustainable energy and the critical role of hydropower. 💡 Whether you're attending to share insights, explore partnerships, or learn about the latest digital solutions for hydropower, don’t miss the chance to connect with us! HYDROGRID is transforming hydropower operations with advanced optimization solutions, and we’d love to share how we can support your plant tackle today’s volatility. 🎯 Let’s connect! Reach out to David on LinkedIn to schedule a 1:1 meeting or get in touch at the event.

⚡ The rules of the game have changed: is your hydropower production keeping up? 🌊 Gone are the days of rigid 'guided curve' production planning. As markets grow more volatile, reactivity and strategic water management are no longer "nice-to-haves" — they’re essential for staying competitive and profitable. Here are 3 key insights to help you tackle today’s dynamic hydro environment: 1️⃣ Leverage Real-Time Data: Static plans can’t adapt to shifting markets. Tools that adjust in real time give you an edge, optimizing production and capturing peak prices. 2️⃣ Plan Beyond the Curve: Markets demand more than just following a curve. Strategic tools help you model constraints, hydrological conditions, and cascading impacts — delivering efficiency without sacrificing revenue. 3️⃣ React to Volatility with Confidence: ⚡ Spikes in power demand? 🌧️ Sudden inflow changes? Agile tools let you react quickly, minimizing losses and maximizing profits. 💡 With 8+ years of expertise in revenue maximization, spill reduction, and constraint management, HYDROGRID Insight gives hydro professionals the tools to capitalize on market opportunities — while keeping operations efficient. 🚀 Ready to leave static planning behind?
