Guideline PCC HYDRO and PCC NEW HYDRO

Hydropower plants have positive effects if they are implemented in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner.

Hydropower generates clean, renewable energy without producing any emissions of air contaminants and climate gases thereby making a vital contribution to preserving our environment, to climate protection and the achievement of the environmental goals of the European Community.

PCC HYDRO and PCC NEW HYDRO undertakes to plan, build and operate its hydropower plants in compliance with the current ecological and social requirements, thereby minimising potential negative environmental and social effects of the projects to a reasonable degree while maintaining the positive yields from the projects. The enterprise shall, in this context, always comply with the applicable national legislations and the guidelines of the host country and is, on top of this, geared to German and international standards.”
