What makes water one of the most reliable sources of electricity production over the last century, and how is it being repurposed in the age of producing electricity from the sun and wind? Find out, as we chat with Amédée Murisier, Head of Hydropower Generation at Alpiq, a Swiss based energy service provider. Among others, we learn about why hydro is an ideal complement to renewables, how it is unparalleled in flexible and dispatchable electricity generation and why global warming, and supply chains could impact its future prospects.
Hosts: Chris Sass & Johan Oberg
