The Hydro Hall of Fame recognizes extraordinary hydro achievement throughout the world, with a special emphasis on long-lasting facilities.

Hydro Review has been inducting legacy facilities in the Hydro Hall of Fame since 1995, designating plants that have been operating continuously for 100 years or more.

Together, this prestigious group demonstrates the long-lasting and significant contributions of hydroelectric plants, including clean renewable power, emission-free generation and reliability.

New inductees are honored at HYDROVISION International. For more about the event, please visit HydroEvent.com.

Qualification Criteria

To be considered for inclusion in the Hydro Hall of Fame, the plant must have been in continuous operation for 100 years or more. In addition, a representative from the plant must be present to accept the award at the opening keynote session of HYDROVISION International.
