Denver Water to support HYDROVISION International 2022 as host utility

Utility Denver Water, which owns and operates seven hydroelectric plants in the U.S. state of Colorado, is supporting HYDROVISION International 2022 as a host utility.

HYDROVISION International 2022 takes place July 12 to 14 in Denver.

Denver Water was founded in 1918 and is the state’s largest and oldest water utility, with a service area of more than 335 square miles. A system of reservoirs networked by tunnels and canals provides water to 1.5 million people in Denver and surrounding suburbs. The company’s seven hydroelectric plants generated 52,929 MWh of electricity in 2019. Money from the sale of the power produced is used to offset operating costs, typically saving ratepayers about $4 million per year. Most of these generators are located at existing water storage facilities, such as Gross Reservoir in Boulder County.

HYDROVISION International is the world’s largest hydro industry event, typically attracting over 3,000 attendees and more than 300 exhibiting companies from more than 50 countries. The event highlights perspectives on the role of hydropower, explores issues affecting hydro resources, and helps participants develop a vision to meet challenges and ensure the future sustainability of hydro.

The conference planning committee met in person in December to determine the content to be presented in HYDROVISION International’s conference program. This robust program features 40 sessions over two full days. These include panel presentation sessions, technical paper presentations and poster galleries. An additional 20-plus sessions will take place in two Knowledge Hubs in the exhibit hall and are open to all attendees.

Also, the event features an opening keynote on Tuesday and a utility executive roundtable on Thursday.
