On today's Global Hydropower Day we celebrate the positive impacts of sustainable hydropower on people and communities around the world: In Austria, about two thirds of all electricity is generated from hydropower, with the vast majority being produced by VERBUND power plants. Hydropower is crucial in Austria for sustainable energy production and environmental protection due to the optimal topographical conditions. Its high level of efficiency makes it the most efficient generation technology there is. In addition it also has a small CO2 footprint. 🌊 We are proud to have generated over 30,000 GWh of electricity in 2023 with more than 130 hydropower plants, sustainably supplying Austria with green energy.

**Unlocking the Future of Clean Energy: Slow-Moving Water Technologies** While large dams and fast-flowing rivers dominate the conversation around hydropower, slow-moving water bodies offer a hidden and underutilized source of sustainable energy. Thanks to cutting-edge innovations like hydrokinetic turbines, we can now generate power from the gentle currents of rivers, canals, and even water treatment systems. 🔍 **New Insight:** One groundbreaking technology is the "VIVACE" (Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy) system, which harnesses energy from slow water flows by mimicking fish swimming patterns in currents. This system has the potential to power communities near calm water bodies, making renewable energy accessible in areas that were previously overlooked. 🌱 **Why it matters:** - **Scalable**: Can be adapted to various environments, from rural waterways to urban canals. - **Low Maintenance**: Minimal infrastructure requirements make it ideal for decentralized energy solutions. - **Resilient**: Provides a steady source of energy, even during dry seasons or periods of low rainfall. By focusing on these overlooked water sources, we can expand the renewable energy mix and build a more resilient energy grid. Let's turn the tide towards a cleaner, greener future! 🌊💡 #CleanEnergy #HydropowerInnovation #Sustainability #SlowWaterTech #RenewableEnergy #GreenFuture **Source**: Bernitsas, M.
