HKN Water Europe: Hydropower Electricity at the Headquarters in Switzerland<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

At Pontacol’s headquarters in Schmitten-FR, Switzerland, only electricity generated from hydropower is used.<\/p>\n

Hydropower is renewable and sustainable as it utilizes the natural water cycle. Its production is environmentally friendly, generating no direct CO\u2082 emissions or air pollution. Hydropower plants provide reliably stable base load power and can be flexibly adjusted to meet energy demands. They are cost-efficient, as they require low operating costs after construction and can operate for decades. Furthermore, the energy is highly versatile: surplus energy can be stored, and with an efficiency rate of up to 90%, hydropower ranks among the most efficient and cleanest energy sources.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
